Believe it or not, Internet Explorer users have long enjoyed a better version of Google Toolbar than Firefox users. But now Google Toolbar 5 is available for Firefox, bringing with it such amenities as Google Notebook integration, synchronization across multiple PCs, and multiple AutoFill profiles.
The one-minute video up top gives you a (very) quick overview, but the highlights are as follows:
You can "clip" Web contents to your Google Notebook just by clicking a button in the toolbar.
You can access Google Gadgets directly from the toolbar.
If you use multiple PCs, you can synchronize your Google Toolbar settings, bookmarks, and custom buttons so they appear on each system.
The improved AutoFill lets you set up multiple profiles -- great if you need, say, business information for some forms and personal info for others.
