Downloaded Fiefox 5 and the McAfee site advisor is no longer visible

''duplicate thread - continue here - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/857903''
My McAfee comes with o2 and the site adviser (the little green shield) always showed clearly in previous versions of Firefox but now it doesn't show at all.
Hope this explanation is enough to go on. It certainly mades me feel more secure when I could see the grren site advisor.
It works perfectly on Google Chrome but i like using FireFox

McAfee Site Advisor is blocklisted by Mozilla. The Site Advisor extension was the #2 cause of crashing the Firefox 5.0 betas. McAfee was notified of the problem long before that extension was added to the blocklist. Now it is up to them to fix it.

McAfee is supposedly working on a re-written version. The '''original projection was''' that it would be available in the 3rd week of July, which of course has now come and gone. Latest information is that their fix will be released near the end of August. They seem to not care about the inconvenience to their users.

  • The McAfee site advisor used to work brfore but no longer does with the new version of Firefox. How do I revert to the olderversion or get the McAfee site advisor to work?

    The McAfee site advisor used to work before with earlier versions of Firefox but now no longer does since upgrading to the latest version. It still works with Explorer so it a Firefox version compatibility issue with McAfee. The PC runs on Microsoft Vista.

    I am sure that it is only their toolbar that is incompatible. To verify that and ask if they currently support Firefox 5 with their add-ons, go to the following address and post your question(s). Changing their toolbars to be compatible with any browser is their responsibility.

    Other than the toolbar, the rest of your security application should be working as expected, but you can also ask that question at the above link. Firefox has built-in malware/phishing protection, if that is what is provided by their toolbar, another question that you can ask at the above link.

  • What happened to the Mcafee Site Advisor?

    I installed firefox 5.0 and now my mcafee site advisor is gone..I don't feel safe without it...The web pages i click on DO NOT show anything..I'm not thrilled about this Firefox:( What happened?

    The McAfee Site Advisor 3.3.1 extension was the number 2 cause of crashes in one of the Firefox 5.0 betas and Mozilla Blocklisted it. That extension is disabled in Firefox 5, Firefox 6.0beta, and Firefox 7.0alpha versions. McAfee is working on a new re-written version of the Site Advisor extension to fix their problems - ETA is mid to end of July. <br />

  • My mcafee site advisor is no longer working

    I have the newest version of mozilla. the mcafee siteadisor browser botton has dissapeared from my mozilla. the green, yellow, and red ticks no longer appear after a web site search. i have re installed mcaffee. still no results.

    I have Firefox 22.0 and latest updates for mcAfee but McAfee (see Add-Ons) sez it disabled McAfee site advisor to protect my system from crashes--McAfee tech support 1-866-622-3911 person, "Martin" in India, helped me enable it but but nothing improved: still no search result indicators. So he said to uninstall Firefox and install latest version. I have not tried that cuz it seems to me version 22.0 must be the latest version---am I wrong?

  • When will Firefox have a solution for the 'McAfee site advisor' problem in the new version 5 of the browser?

    I love Firefox and always keep it updated with the latest version, but the new version 5 keeps saying that McAfee Site Adviser will be disabled when I upgrade. So, I haven't downloaded the upgrade. I also love and depend on my site adviser and I'm not willing to loose it. Is Firefox working on a solution for this problems and if so, when do they expect to have a solution in place?
    Thanks for a reply,

    Isn't that sweet! You found a solution & the problem is solved. Now would you care to enlighten the rest of us here?

  • Hi, I have installed ff 5, but the mcafee site advisor doesn't work (it did tell me this - sorry!). How can I reinstall v4.0.1 please? thank you

    Does exactly what it says on the tin innit

    McAfee have taken the decision to rewrite the Firefox SiteAdvisor plugin to make it easier to update. This should ensure that Mozilla's fast-release schedule does not cause lengthy delays after future version updates. What it means for Firefox now though is that until the rewrite is complete - and tested - SiteAdvisor is being prevented from loading in Firefox in order to avoid the possibility of software incompatibility.
    The SA rewrite is projected to take a few weeks to complete and test; it should be ready by about the third week of July, although the exact date is not being given at this stage. It could be earlier.
    In the meantime, users who are concerned about the safety of websites may wish to consider WOT as a temporary substitute. WOT ratings are set by user consensus rather than by automated site testing, so WOT is not a full replacement for SiteAdvisor. It is, however, a good rating tool in its own right (I use both it and SiteAdvisor in all my browsers) and is apparently unaffected by the upgrade to FF5.
    There is a discussion about this on the McAfee forums [https://community.mcafee.com/message/194743#194743 HERE]

  • After updating aurora/firefox to most updated versions i find the mcafee site advisor does not work , but after rolling back the versions it does .

    .....

    Most security software only supports the current release and even that can take some time after Firefox has been updated.<br />
    If you expect Firefox to work properly all the time then you should stay with the release version and to use nightly builds that are updated every day or weekly in the case of the Beta channel.

  • Mcafee site advisor not working with firefox 4.1, I would like to download an older version

    I downloaded the newest version of firefox 4.1 and now mcafee site advisor does not work. I would like to download an older version of firefox

    Have you tried getting an update for that from McAfee?

  • Why do your updates delete my toolbars and mcafee site advisor?

    dude i am sick of this happening. every time you send me an update you eradicate my yahoo toolbar along with all my quick launch apps. and my mcafee site advisor also gets taken from me. one more update like this and i'm deleting mozilla.

    This is not a mcafee issue. Its a mozilla update issue. Every time i get an update from mozilla i have to download my yahoo toolbar and mcafee site dvisor all over again. Anyway lets drop it because mozilla obviously doesnt care. Thanks for nothing mozilla.

  • I am running Firefox 5, McAfee Site advisor is blocked. I contacted McAfee and they said it won't work with Firefox 5 and that I should use an ealier version of FF or use IE. Is there a patch coming to allow Site Advisor to work on FF 5?

    As above McAfee apparently feels the fault is with FF. I will admit that under the latest 3 version it worked fine. I skipped version 4 because of some things a read about it. I did go with FF5.

    I have read that McAfee is working on a re-written version that is projected to be available in the 3rd week of July.
    Quite honestly, with McAfee taking the position that this problem is with Firefox or is Mozilla's fault, when that add-on has a long history of being [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions PROBLEMATIC], I have lost the little respect I had for McAfee being a respectable, ethical company. ''Of course, my level of respect for McAfee was low to begin with due to problems I had with their software 10 years ago causing me to re-format my PC bi-weekly immediately after their security scans on a Win98 PC, and haven't used their stuff since once I discovered their software was causing my problem with lost video card drivers repeatedly.''

  • Trouble with McAfee site advisor

    My computer is set to automatically update to the latest version of Firefox, but everytime I do this the site advisor doesn't update with the latest version. I've tried downloading it again, and nothing happens. I've gotten two viruses because of this, and I could have avoided this is I had the site advisor working. What do I need to do to fix this?

    If you feel you need the McAfee Site Advisor, don't use a Beta version of Firefox. Firefox 8.0 is a Beta version, it won't be released until Nov 8th.

  • McAfee Site Advisor add on causes Firefox to operate slowly, wht can be done?

    Running Win 8.1 on a new Dell.
    McAfee Site advisor is enabled and causes Firefox to run slowly and in fits and starts.
    When I disable Mcafee site advisor Firefox runs fine.

    Hi Richard,
    Unfortunately, extensions such as Site Advisor are known to slow-down Firefox. Often, poor memory utilization is the cause; this can lead to slow start-up, crashing, and general slowness loading webpages.
    In my opinion, Site Advisor is completely unnecessary, as Firefox includes built-in phishing and malware protection already (see [[How does built-in Phishing and Malware Protection work?]])
    In addition, some search engines such as duckduckgo.com have an option to enable Web of Trust (mywot.com) ratings alongside search results without the need for additional add-ons. In your case, I think this would be the best option for you.

  • When I start to download the new Firefox 5.0, I get a message that says it is not compatable with my add-on 'McAfee Site Advisor'. What are my options? I prefer to have the site advisor.

    I do not know much about add-ons so I don't know how to get around this without losing McAfee Site Advisor.

    See McAfee for an updated version of that Site Advisor add-on. Hopefully they have it completed, as they have been promising it for the 3rd week of July ever since Firefox 5.0 was released on June 21.

  • Firefox 5 does not allow me to use McAfee site advisor. How can I download previous version?

    McAfee site advisor is important to me and the new Firefox 5 does not allow it's use. Can you please let me know if I can use previous version of Firefox and how can I get download.
    Perhaps you could e-mail me when problem has been resolved and I can then return to using Firefox which is my preferred browser. In the interim I shall use Internet Explorer which permits site advisor Thank-you

    The McAfee extension was blacklisted due to be a #2 top crasher and McAfee has been working on fixing their toolbar for a month now and it may be ready in 2-4 weeks.
