Meeting Details
- Thursday July 21st, 4:00pm Pacific
- 650-903-0800 x92 Conf# 8605 (US/INTL)
- 1-800-707-2533 (pin 369) Conf# 8605 (US)
- join irc.mozilla.org #planning for back channel

Background
- Google announced the Google Toolbar for Firefox is EOL
- The EOL doesn't seem to have been messaged too widely, looks to have only been announced on the Google Toolbar support blog
- There are still places where Google is offering the toolbar for download
- The current toolbar doesn't support Firefox 5+
- The current toolbar isn't hosted on AMO so it isn't getting automatically bumped
- Google Toolbar incompatibility is a top support issue
- One major issue is that people saved bookmarks with the toolbar. They should be available on www.google.com/bookmarks, but people may not be aware of this?!
- We know that a large amount of users are not taking update offers to 5+ due to Google Toolbar incompatibility
- Many users likely expect a new version of Google toolbar to be released and marked compatible
Firefox 3.6.20 (code freeze is 2011-08-01) would be the earliest vehicle we can use to change the product and will allow us to push product changes before users get update offers to 5+.
This meeting is to discuss possible in-product options for messaging that Google Toolbar is EOL and/or removing it from the critical update path.
