Google Toolbar is EOL and Mozilla will not fix buggy add-on.

Try basic troubleshooting steps, please:

1) Safe mode: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

2) New profile: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles (don't import anything, disable plugins)

Does it fix your issue?
