What happened to the tabs that said "this site is safe" and "notify us" when I upgraded to Firefox 5.0?

When I upgraded to Firefox 5.0 a couple days ago, the toolbar that included the sunburst security symbol followed by "this site is safe" and "notify us" disappeared. I also had cut, copy, past and print icons on that toolbar, and they also disappeared. The same thing happened after the previous upgrade, but I discovered the lost toolbar hidden behind the "Home - Welcome to Centurylink" tab just under the menu toolbar. All I had to do to get it back was click on the down arrow after the word "Centurylink" (Centurylink is my Internet provider) . After the last upgrade that down arrow is no longer there.

It sounds as though one of your add-on toolbars was not labeled as compatible with Firefox 5. You can check for disabled add-ons here:

orange Firefox button or Tools menu > Add-ons

Try the Extensions category, the lower list of grayed out items.

If Firefox disabled some add-ons (especially extensions), it likely is because they include a list of compatible Firefox versions and haven't yet been updated for Firefox 5. If they worked on Firefox 4, there is a very good chance they will work on Firefox 5.

You can force Firefox to ignore add-on version restrictions by (what else) installing an add-on. Then you can test whether the add-ons important to you actually work in Firefox 5.

Add-on Compatibility Reporter :: Add-ons for Firefox

Please report back on your results.

No sh*t, 90% of all extensions are not labeled compatible with Firefox 5! ^-^ I must have provided that compatibility reporter solution 20 times today already...

Apparently what I lost is referred to as the "Browser Protection toolbar. It show it as being disabled and says it is not compatible with Firefox 5.0

I did create a custom toolbar and reinstalled the shortcuts for cut, copy, paste and print, so I guess my problem is solved, sort of.

Thanks for the input.
