Google Toolbar and Firefox: Signing in problems

Google don't want you to use your Google Toolbar. So it seems.

Can't sign in to your Google toolbar and Google bookmarks/account?

There are two solutions:

First, cancel your browser history, cookies, etc.. Reboot Firefox and sign in. This may work, if you are very lucky.

Secondly, Google have changed the domain name for these services. Close Firefox. You need to change the name in the Toolbar file toolbar.js

First you have to find the file, so write toolbar.js in the Start Menu search line and press enter. If you now see the file, open it with Word Pad.

If you can't find the file, you need to find the 'Roaming' folder. Here's a quick method of finding that folder. Write   %appdata%    in the start search box. You should see the Roaming folder as the only result. Open the folder and run a search for toolbar.js

Now you have the file, right click and open with Word pad  (look in Windows NT folder). Use the replace function and write:

Find:  www.google.com/accounts
Replace: accounts.google.com

Click on replace all. Save the document and close it. Open firefox and sign into your Google account. All should be working once more, at least until Google decide to test our ingenuity once more.
