SpyHunter is set up to run everyday when I turn on my desktop computer. My Desktop runs Windows 5.1. We usually get around 80-100 low level "spy things" that show up and Spy Hunter removes them. Yesterday, after downloading Firefox 4 we got no malware spy hits. Today, we got one, but we got a message that said we had to restart our computer to remove the malware. We restarted and Spy Hunter just wanted to scan again. We stopped the scan.
Kaspersky Antivirus is set up on my laptop (running Windows 7). After I downloaded Firefox 4, I get a message that states that Kaspersky Antivirus is not turned on. When I open the Action Center of Kaspersky, I shows that the Anti-virus protection is turned off. The rest (firewall, updates, spyware protection, internet security settings, account control are all still "on").
I find it really strange and somehow connected to the downloading of Firefox 4 since both my desktop and my laptop now have problems with my SpyHunter and Kaspersky.
Can I, or should I go back to the earlier version? If so, how do I do that?
Thanks!
Marbeth AustinSome third-party vendors do not update their products until after the release of a new browser. That is a shame in that they could have tested for compatibility during the alpha and beta testing period (about one year in the case of Firefox 4). The third-party vendor/developer is responsible for keeping their product(s) compatible with new browsers.
You will need to contact your third-party vendor and complain as a paying customer who is not getting what they paid for.
Other newly release browsers, not just Firefox 4, are affected:

I was having trouble with downloads on Explorer and in the process of resolving the issue with Microsoft support over the phone we tested the solution by downloading itunes and firefox. That was two days ago and I have not been able to open my AOL from the icon on my screen. Explorer is ok and I can access AOL through that search engine. I read online that others have had the same problem after downloading Firefox.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

trying to veiw videos from a website that requires me to download firefox and silverlight.My imac osx 10.5.8 will now download firefox. firfx tells me my mac is not compatible with ffox Please help me ? Thank you
There is a version of Firefox 4 available for PPC Macs:
TenFourFox 4.0.1 Firefox 4 For PowerPC Browser Released
Version 4.0.1 of TenFour Fox, FloodGap's port of Firefox 4 for Power PC
Macs that supports both Mac oS X 10.4 and 10.5. has been released.
Mozilla.org dropped support for OS 10.5 after Firefox 3.6 and for Power
PC with the fourth beta of Firefox 4.
TenFourFox uses almost all the same code as Firefox 4 and has nearly all
the same features, including faster JavaScript, WebM video, and HTML 5
and CSS 3 support, as well as new and emerging Web features, but with
the code needed to keep your Power Mac functional and fast. Out of beta
and it's ready for action, versiob 4.0.1 is a performance, security and
stability update incorporating Mozilla's Firefox 4.0.1 plus AltiVec acceler
-ation for WebM and browser graphics, and G5 JavaScript acceleration.
For more information, visit:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Source: from http://www.applelinks.com - posted April 25, 2011)
Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
But there is a workaround!
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
With SilverLight, Microsoft attempted to create their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be - but not to universal acclaim. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac, but even this will not work with Safari 4. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs and does work with Safari 4/5. The solution is to download and install the latest version of Flip4Mac, which now includes a Silverlight component:
http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm
But the latest news is that Microsoft will probably abandon Silverlight in favour of HTML5:

Norton Log-in Management is not working after downloading Firefox 4.0
Since downloading Firefox version 4.0, Norton Log-In Management no longer works as it used to. Prior to the download, and after signing on to Norton, the Log-In Manager would automatically populate any web page which requires me to log in. Also, the Log-In Manager no longer appears in the toolbar.
Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles -
I was having with internet and web connections just stopping or freezing after downloading firefox4. I tried following your dirrections that said to turn it off then back on. It turned off but would not go back on. I couldn't connect to anything so went back to my old search engine. I couldn;t even send you information concerning the problem until I got your recent email. The dirrections are really hard to follow for people who are not great on computer lingo. Can you write it out step by step?
Press '''START + R''' in keyboard to open the '''Run''' box(or '''start''' then '''run''') , type in the RUN box '''%APPDATA%''' (or copied in just i wrote, bold text) then click '''OK'''. A Windows Explorer window will appear, in this window, choose '''Mozilla''' then '''Firefox''' then '''Profiles'''. Each folder in the "Profiles" folder (e.g., "xxxxxxxx.default") is a profile on your computer (maybe is one file if you have only one profile).
