Editorial Review of Google Toolbar 2 for Firefox

This new upgrade to the Google Toolbar for Mozilla's Firefox browser features enhancements to the search box and an antiphishing feature.

With its enhanced search functionality, the toolbar is able to offer suggestions on the fly for narrowing queries and correcting spelling. The search box also retains the user's previous query terms, as well as bookmarks, and offers them up as query suggestions. A drop-down menu lets users choose to run a query on different Google search sites.

The Firefox toolbar also now comes integrated with what Google calls its Safe Browsing extension, which previously was offered as an optional add on.

This feature alerts users when it determines a Web page they are visiting could be a phishing trap. These are legitimate-looking Web sites that look to be from institutions such as banks that fraudsters set up to attempt to trick users into disclosing sensitive information, such as account numbers and passwords.

Note: This is beta software, so use try it out at your own risk.
