Google Toolbar For Firefox Available Tomorrow With Send-To-Phone & Google Suggest

Iria · Jul 7, 2005, 05:27 AM

A new Google Toolbar for Firefox for users will be available for download tomorrow morning Pacific time from the Google Toolbar page. It will offer generally the same features as the Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer, Google says. However, Google Labs will also be releasing tomorrow "send-to-phone" and Google Suggest extensions specifically for the toolbar:

Google Suggest: Will allow you to utilize Google Suggest directly from the toolbar. So, as you enter your query into the toolbar, you'll see suggested search terms.
Google Send To Phone: Will allow you to quickly send the text from any web page to a mobile phone as a text message. The service is free but make sure to check with your mobile phone provider to determine the charges (if any) to receive text messages.

Pointless. It was only useful for blocking popups, and firefox does that on its own.

It's kinda pointless for Firefox..hmm they just don't want to lose all the feed back from FF users.
