I GOT IT!!!!
Authored by: maddys_daddy on Nov 12, '04 04:41:43PM
Okay, after posting here, I did a little more digging. The notice at the top of this pagey says, "The googlebar version compatible with Firefox 1.0 is version 0.9.0.30, see above to download." But there's nothing "above" to see or link to. So I did some digging in the googlebar mailing list, and found this linky which has 0.9.0.30! (Use the one called XPI-firefox-1.0.xpi) Download and installed, and viola! I have my googlebar back! Hope this helps someone else.

Thanks for the link, maddys daddy. Indeed, it seems like until many of Mozilla/Firefox's extensions don't update via the manager, and instead the user must "track down" the pages of their favorites. Your sleuthing saved me lots of time.

I held out on updating to the 1.0 release due to 4-5 extension holdouts. (I'd prefer "real" updates and not kludges such as this hint.) With googlebar now updated, I searched for the others and have pretty much gotten them all up-to-date and now compatible. Cool.

Sadly, the BugMeNot extension is still listed as incompatible and the author's intro is somewhat anti-Mac:

Any alternatives out there?
