In essence, Pale Moon is the same as Firefox for bookmark/sign-in functionality, so the workaround that worked for Firefox (whichever it was you found) is very likely to work for Pale Moon as well!

If you could paste the step by step guide here, I can revise it for you to apply to Pale Moon -- I assume you had to manually do something with your profile.

Hi
This is what i followed . Thankyou for your help


Open any folder of your pc (like "my computer") and type on the address bar "C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles" Changing Michael to whatever your username is on your computer.

Then click on the only folder that appears (which I guess has a different name in each computer), then click on the folder "extensions" then click on the second folder in which you should find the final folder "lib" your looking for. Inside this folder is the file "toolbar.js". Right click on it and select open with notepad.

Once your in just go up to Edit > Replace, and enter the following in the “Find” field:

www.google.com/accounts

And then this in the “Replace” field:

accounts.google.com

Hit “Replace All”. Then Save, and close it.

That’s it. Restart Firefox, and NOW the Google toolbar will let you log in.

To get to your profile folder for Pale Moon, the easiest way is to select "Troubleshooting information..." in the Help menu, then clicking on the button "Open containing folder" under "profile"
This will prevent you from having to manually find the right folder in explorer.

The other steps should be easy enough to follow and be the same for either browser.

PLEASE NOTE: The last version of Firefox/Pale Moon supported by Google Toolbar is v4. So it may or may not work with Pale Moon 8.
