+Version 3 of the [Google Toolbar for Firefox][1] arrived yesterday. The new release is, natch, a beta, but I've been using it all day without any problems. For the most part the update catches the Firefox toolbar up to where the Google IE toolbar has already been for some time, but there's also some new things that haven't made it to the IE version yet. The biggest thing missing from the Firefox version was the Google Bookmark menu which stores your bookmarks to your Google account so you can access them wherever you go. This feature already exists in IE, but now Firefox users can enjoy the same integration. The other standout feature is one that hasn't made it to the IE toolbar yet. Taking a tip from [Zoho][3], The Google Toolbar for Firefox can now open certain spreadsheets and other office docs within the browser window via Google Docs and Spreadsheets. This eliminates the need to download the file first and makes browsing office documents online faster and easier. There are also some new buttons for Google services that can be placed in the toolbar, including one for GMail, which provides tight integration with Google's popular email service. In the toolbar preferences you can check a setting to have all email links auto-open in GMail, and from the new GMail toolbar button you can snap directly to recent messages in your inbox. There's also a new button to send links via GMail, SMS or Blogger. Overall a very nice update that should make Firefox users happy.
