So im using firefox portable and im loving it, however I need the google toolbar but when i use that addon it slows down FFportable A LOT. Everytime a new page or tab opens it pauses for a few seconds and then continues.
Is there an alternative to the google toobar where i can search for stuff on google without going to google itself?
The toolbar that came with firefox portable is alredy being used and I need another one (preferably on the left side like the google toolbar)
Any ideas on what else i can do or maybe some settings on google toolbar to fix it?

What do you mean by "already being used"? It can be used on every window and tab in Firefox. I can't see how it could be used up.

My use of Google indicates that I am insane.
dtms1 means that the SearchBar has been set to a different Search Engine, and he/she apparently doesn't want to switch it back and forth every time he/she wants to use Google vs whatever the other Search Engine is.
@dtms1: I don't know of any good alternatives to the Google Toolbar (I assume you don't want one of the Yahoo, Bing, Ask, etc. toolbars).
If you can't find a good alternative toolbar, I would recommend setting a QuickSearch (at least that's what they used to call it :p) by right clicking on the Search box on Google's homepage (or on a custom Google Search page, like Start.PortableApps.com) and clicking "Add a Keyword for this Search...", this will bring up a "New Bookmark" dialog, enter the Name of the Search Engine (in this case "Google") in the "Name:" box, and enter a Keyword for the Search Engine (e.g. google, g, or whatever you'll associate with that Search Engine that's not too long to type often) in the "Keyword:" box. Then you can use it by typing "google Whatever your search terms are" (or "g search terms", etc.) in the URL bar.
