Google Toolbar Doesn’t Install On Debian

Debian,Google 22 June 2007 2 Comments



Debian change Firefox to Iceweasel. Since Google’s toolbar does not install as the installer does not recognize Iceweasel as Firefox. To get full Google Toolbar support:

  1. in the navigation: about: config
  2. filter for : general.useragent.extra.firefox
  3. change Iceweasel/2.0.0.4 To Firefox/2.0.0.4

Go back to Google Toolbar’s website, and install.

    does not work on iceweasel 2.0.0.4.
    Still asks to install FF 1.5 or higher.

    Thanks a lot.
    This hack works for Iceweasel/2.0.0.6.
    I can install GoogleToolbar after I change it to Firefox/2.0.0.6.
