(that's how I would like to see "Steps to reproduce" filled, now just for the
record):

1) I went to http://toolbar.google.com and downloaded the toolbar, imported
bookmarks from del.icio.us using http://persistent.info/cgi-bin/delicious/import.py
2) Restarted and reproduced the problem
3) Went to the support group http://groups.google.com/group/FFToolbar-Group and
searched for "Downloading bookmarks" string
4) Found many messages (for example
http://groups.google.com/group/FFToolbar-Group-Bugs/msg/409b222b624dcf62)
stating clearly that Google Toolbar doesn't work on 64bit operating systems.
5) Closed this bug as NOTABUG (meaning there is no bug in RH Firefox)

(that's actually what I did exactly, because I have x86_64 here as well)

Comment 2 sean.mcguffee 2007-11-16 14:59:35 UTC
This IS a BUG in FIREFOX. My x86_64 Netscape Navigator has bookmarks working
just fine in google toolbar. 

Comment 3 Matěj Cepl 2007-11-16 16:59:39 UTC
a) I don't care about Netscape Navigator -- it is different piece of software
(for which we don't have source code)
b) this bug is filed against a testing version of Fedora Core 6, so it should be
already closed half a year ago.

Comment 4 sean.mcguffee 2007-11-16 17:47:33 UTC
Sorry about that--I swear I had set this up as a F8 bug. Just to clarify, this
is on the new Werewolf version of Fedora 8. And, you do care that google
bookmarks work under netscape because you tried to dismiss this as a problem
with google's toolbar not working in 64 bit environments. That simply isn't the
case. The only problem is with google toolbar inside of 64 bit firefox, so that
is a bug in Firefox, not in the toolbar. 

Comment 5 Matěj Cepl 2007-11-19 14:39:51 UTC
No, I don't care about Netscape Navigator at all, which might get (and probably
got) patches in AOL to work with Google Toolbar.

There couldn't be a more important bug to fix than this. Please quit ignoring 
it.

Comment 8 Christopher Aillon 2007-11-20 13:04:11 UTC
We do not ship Google Toolbar, therefore we can't possibly make it work.  Please
contact the vendor of Google Toolbar.
