Google launches Toolbar Version 3 for Firefox
No commentsNew features include custom buttons, send too, docs & spreadsheets, bookmarks and Google account sign in.
You can add buttons to your Toolbar that will let you visit and search your favorite websites and keep up with interesting feeds. Their Button Gallery offers a selection of ready-made buttons for popular sites, and you can make your own buttons in seconds by right-clicking in the search box on any site and selecting “Generate Custom Search. Start making your own buttons.
New! Send To
You can use your Google Toolbar to share web pages via email, text message (SMS), or blog. To share an entire page, select from the Toolbar’s “Send To” menu; to share an excerpt, simply select the section of the page you want to share before clicking “Send To.”
Note: sending text messages via the Google Toolbar is free. Your cell phone carrier, however, may charge a fee to receive messages, on either a monthly or per-message basis. SMS is only available from within the United States.
New! Google Docs & Spreadsheets
With the Google Docs & Spreadsheets feature enabled in the Google Toolbar, you can open most popular file types right in your browser. Google Docs & Spreadsheets will display these files in a new browser window when you either drag the file icon into your browser, click a link to a file on a web page, or double-click on a file icon. Enable this feature from the “Options” menu of your Toolbar.
New! Bookmarks
Want to create and label bookmarks that you can access from any computer? Simply click the Toolbar’s star icon, or right-click the star to add and label a bookmark. You’ll be able to access your Bookmarks menu on any computer with the new Google Toolbar installed.
Note: this feature stores your bookmarks online, so you’ll need to have a Google Account and be signed in to create and access your bookmarks. You can also view your bookmarks using your Google Account’s Search History feature. Just click the “Search History” link that appears in the upper right-hand corner of the Google homepage when you’re logged into your Google Account and you’ll see your Bookmarks.
New! Google Account Sign-in
Your Google Account is your access point for Google services like Personalized Homepage, Google Groups and Gmail - and now you can sign in and out right from your Toolbar. Simply click on the Settings button on the right end of the Toolbar and select “Sign In” (you’ll know you’re signed in when the Toolbar displays a green light).
