Google toolbar

At the end of last week, my firefox browser changed a bit unexpectedly. When I opened a tab, I started seeing thumbnails of the 9 most visited sites I use. To the right of that was the most recently added bookmarks and the most recently closed tabs. It was a little weird at first, but I am starting to like it.

When I open a new tab, I quite often find myself looking at a picture of a site I am headed to. I just have to click on the picture. A couple of times I have found myself closing a tab that I didn't mean to close, but the link is sitting there waiting for me when I open a new tab.

What do I owe these new features to? It looks like it was related to a recent update to the google toolbar. I am starting to really like it.
