[Googlebar] Googlebar: feedback from AndyB

[Matthew Lewis]

 >> Did I miss anyone?

I had a question a few days ago but I'm not sure if it made it to the 
list since I didn't receive a copy back myself.  Anyway, I asked if it 
would be possible to fix it so the Googlebar toolbar buttons could be 
positioned anywhere on any toolbar, just like the standard FireFox 
toolbar buttons.  That would be a really useful feature to me and 
probably many others as well.  Seems like it would be an easy change, 
but I know almost nothing about extension development so if it would be 
a harder change to implement, I understand completely! ;)

The other extensions apparently do a nice job, though.  Google suggest is currently being worked on a bit, and Scholar has already been added, much to my own delight.  As for Google compute- as an MD guy myself (if on shorter timescales) I sympathize with the pain of needing to wait the age of the universe for your job to run on a normal computer, but since there'd be a conflict on interest if we added this (namely, me rerouting all the processing for my own surface simulations), I'll just point out that you can download folding at home, a separate program, instead.

>Installing: the Googlebar is known to work as far back as Moz 1.4, as version number is found in the help menu. Those who think their version is 5.0 because of the user agent string... well, it's been saying that since at least 1999. :)  Locales come from googlebarl10n.mozdev.org.
