Now in Google Toolbar for Firefox: advanced in-page translation
October 1, 2009
Last week was a big one for Google Toolbar: we released the new
Google Toolbar with Sidewiki
for Internet Explorer and Firefox allowing you to contribute helpful information next to any webpage. But there's more: with the new version of Google Toolbar, our
advanced in-page translation
also became available for Firefox, making it easy to read a webpage in another language with the click of a button.
The new version of Google Toolbar for Firefox has several other new features . You can find (almost) everything about the toolbar in our
help center
so we'll just mention two new things. As in Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer, we're now experimenting with displaying high-quality website suggestions and sponsored links as you type your query. Clicking on these will take you directly to the website (try typing "cnn" in the toolbar to see an example).
Also, Firefox version 3.5 introduced
Private Browsing mode
in which in which Firefox will stop recording your browsing history. The new version of Toolbar in Firefox will follow suit and not record your
searchbox history
while in Private Browsing mode. It will also turn off PageRank, Web History and Sidewiki. This means that you can confidently surf in private when you prefer. Note that Firefox's Private Browsing mode does not mean complete anonymity; we highly recommend reading
Mozilla's support page
before using Private Browsing mode.
We continue to work on new features to improve your web experience.
Download the latest version of Google Toolbar
and try out these new features.
