Google toolbar troubles, anyone else??

I've been using the Toolbar for some time now with no issues.

I upgraded to FF 4 and everything was going well, then sometime yesterday -- or at least that is when i noticed it -- but the bar "vanished" or was invisible ... it was a blank "bar". If I checked View | Toolbars, it was checked. but nothing i did would make it visible again.

I googled it and read up on it ... seems it's been an issue for sometime, but everything mentioned on "boards" to try -- nothing worked.

I uninstalled FF4 and went back to 3.something ... tried an older G.toolbar ... still nothing.

I like using that toolbar as it has quick access to things i use in google... mail, DOCS and the .com page.

Grrrrr -- anyone else have issues, know how to correct it... or do i just have to do with out -- or heaven forbid -- use IE??

thanks in advance...
