Depends what tool bar you are using. The google firefox tool bar works fine for me. Just make sure you are using the latest version?
My google firefox toolbar has some glitch, i guess and its the latest version. Hmm, restarting Firefox didn't help!
I think it could also be the google toolbar that needs reinstalling. Other than that i was just curious if it was only on my side or the global failure. Thanks for the answers...
Had a read of the google toolbar forums http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Toolbar/thread?tid=561e100c4a0df7ce&hl=en A post near the end of the thread by "brianrose" from google says best thing to do is UNINSTALL the tool bar, restart firefox then reinstall from http://www.google.com/toolbar if you still have problems, the above thread would be the place to get help from google staff for their firefox toolbar problems
