The Google Toolbar apparently doesn’t feel the Delicious Toolbar is very…well…”delicious”. I’m seeing the same issue on Windows 7 (RC1 & RTM) and XP Pro, so it looks as if the issue is OS agnostic.
I’ve kinda randomly installed other widgets as needed, IE8 Add-On’s being only one category. And I had no issues at first with IE8. But after a while, I started getting the following error every time an individual tab in IE8 gets closed:
APPCRASH plus all the stuff that makes no sense to anyone but the IE team: StackHash_0a9e, app version, etc.
Imagine you have 10 tabs open. You get a separate error for each one. Yay, fun! So, whenever any issues happen with the browser like this, the first place to look is your Add-On’s.
I have a few other Add-On’s I tested with, but had no issues. So we’ll just focus on the two that are butting heads: the Google & Delicious toolbars.
What I discovered is, quite simply, that Google doesn’t like it when the Delicious toolbar is diddy. Diddy meaning “on top of” the Google toolbar. So, here’s the no-no:
So, to fix, just place the Delicious toolbar below the Google toolbar:
Just disable the Delicious toolbar, restart IE and re-enable it to place it below the Google toolbar.
Lame? Heck yea. But at least the workaround is simple. I really love Google stuff. But this one's pretty weird. Time may prove even prove that Google isn't the issue. But for now, until I read otherwise, looks like Google is the culprit.
I guess we’re lucky Bing is built in and doesn’t have a toolbar. We’d prolly be back to the days of such bugs/viruses that caused our monitors to explode in our faces. Can you imagine a Google AND a Bing toolbar in the same browser??? Dogs & Cats living together, MASS HYSTERIA!!!
Oh, and do you have a problem with Google wanting to be Diddy? Then be encouraged! They have the perfect place for you now.
