Google today added a new feature to Google Toolbar 5 for Firefox which implements a range of useful information whenever the user opens a new tab in the browser, just as it does in Google Chrome.

In addition to displaying the most visited sites, based on visitation history data, Firefox users can easily access their most recent bookmarks and view the latest closed tabs, allowing them to reopen if necessary. You can also customize the highlights by clicking on the edit link below the previews of the most visited sites.
