    Yes! I did. Alex, how does one say "worst mistake I ever made" in German?

    I heard about this new Google Toolbar on e-Week, which is a business IT
    publication. I shudder to think of the CIO's and IT guys installing this
    on their systems, only to have it blow up in their faces.

    Then again, when I checked the regular Extensions channel, I found that
    three third parties had written their own Google toolbars for Firefox. I
    was wondering whether anyone had tried any of /them/.

    The only reason I didn't report this here is that I didn't know whom to
    report it to--Google? BugZilla?
