Here's a (mostly) pain-free workaround. I *suspect* this won't cause undue problems; would somebody with more understanding of Moz plugins please validate?
Go to www.getfirefox.com. Download version 2.0. Untar it (tar -xzvf firefox-whatever version). Change to the new directory, and run the firefox binary (./firefox). Now go to toolbar.google.com, and install the plugin. Now close Firefox, and delete the directory from your tarball. The plugin is still installed in $HOME/.mozilla/plugins, you can now use the Ubuntu Firefox with no problems [so far]. -- [Edgy] Incompatible with Google Toolbar. https://launchpad.net/bugs/68663 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
