I haven't found a solution to this problem.
Is anyone successfully using the Google Toolbar with Fedora-9 Firefox?
Or Google Browser Sync?

I googled for these, and it seems that there is a problem of some kind,
though I haven't worked out whether it is with recent versions of Firefox,
or if it is related in some way to KDE-4.

The only concrete solution I saw given
was to regress to an earlier version of Firefox.
But there did seem to be a fairly widespread belief
that the problem would be solved quite soon.

Any elucidation on this gratefully received.
