Ask how ?
Google is supporting Firefox in a big way! Google AdSense has started a referal program where publishers can refer end users to download and use Firefox. And guess what? Google would pay USD 1 for every successful install of Firefox. Now, this is great news for the whole Firefox community.
Gone are the days when browsers were distributed for free. Now you get paid too! :). But fortunately in this case, you get paid for your good karma. Way to go Google!…
Just have to wait and see how Microsoft responds to this one. This one is definitely a big nail in the coffin for Internet Explorer.
AdSense has also started a referal program to refer publishers. The moment your referral makes 100$, you too get 100$ in your account.
More info on Google’s Inside AdSense Blog too.

Came across this useful tip for firefox while browsing today.
You can assign some keyword shortcut to your bookmarks, and you can use these keywords in the address bar to load the site that is bookmarked!
For E.g :
Say you use a bookmark to reach bloglines.com. Right-click the bookmark, then click on properties. You would have a empty field called “Keyword”. Type in “bl” for Bloglines. After you have done that, click OK.
Now, in the address bar of your browser, just type bl, and you will be directly taken to the bookmarked site!

According to this post the official Google ToolBar is coming to firefox!.
According to a message at the Googlebar mailing list archive, Google is preparing to release a Firefox version of its popular toolbar.
The posting says the Firefox version of the Google toolbar will be released on July 7th. The toolbar will work with Windows 2000 and Windows XP, as well as MacOS X 10.2, and Linux 8.0+. With the exception of a pop-up blocker, it’s expected the Firefox version will have the same features as the IE version.
This is good news! Hope its true.
The googleBar from mozdev.org is pretty good as of now, and serves the purpose, but a toolbar from Google itself would be great!
Waiting for 7th of July!

Update - July 8th: Its available at : http://toolbar.google.com/firefox/extensions/index.html
