Firefox 5.0 disabled an add-on, which is associated with my anti-virus software. Is that add-on disabled if I use some other browser too or just in Firefox?

I just installed Firefox 5.0. I also just renewed by Webroot Internet Security Essentials subscription, so I have the latest updates on that as well, and apparently something in the latest Webroot isn't compatible with the latest Firefox. When I open Firefox, I get a message that a Webroot 1.7 "add-on" and a couple related Webroot files (I didn't write them down and the error message is gone) were disabled. This worries me, because I don't know what part of my anti-virus protection has been disabled by Firefox. My Webroot reports it is up-to-date and functioning.

No problem, I'm happy to help! ^_^ Could you do me a little favor though, and click on the "solved it" link? This helps other users find the answer if they have the same problem, and lets other helpers know that you no longer need help.

  • When I down loaded the new upate a message said that the upgrade was not compatible with my anti-virus software so they disabled it. This is unacceptable.

    I got a message to up grade Firefox so I did. At a certain time in the process a message came up and said that you have some add ons that aren't compatible with this software so they will be disabled. At this time I tried to stop the up grade because I don't like things just being disabled, but it would not allow me to do so. As I continued to the next screen it told me that the software that was disabled was my anti-virus software. I run a business on my computer and am not happy that the protection of my computer and its contents is at risk.

    Firefox 4 is itself no longer supported and is not secure so the choice is between firefox 5 and firefox 3.6.
    Firefox 5 currently [/questions/839953#answer-205178 has problems] with the McAfee site advisor, but the McAfee AV still works ok with it; is that the AV you are using or is it something else ?

  • Is the newest FIREFOX compatible with Kaspersky anti-virus software?

    I have been running Kaspersky with Firefox 4 just fine. My brother updated to Firefox 5 and could no longer run Kaspersky. Before I go through the same angst, I wanted to know if you have resolved issues with Kaspersky in Firefox 6. Otherwise, will I still be able to run with Firefox 4?
    Thanks for a great product.

  • I have just updated Firefox on my desktop. In order to operate it had to disable avast, my open source excellent anti virus software - a surprise that Firefox is compatible! Is there an avast! update that is compatible? Or a fix from Firefox coming?

    I prefer using Firefox over other browsers however I will have to switch if there isn't a fix. I am surprised since it is an excellent open source anti virus software.

    Don't disable your antivirus software!
    Can you explain the problem in more detail? These two issues come to mind:
    (1) Avast protects against program changes. When Firefox changed, Avast blocked it, and you do not have an obvious way to approve the change.
    (2) One or more Avast browser add-ons has not yet been marked as compatible with Firefox 5, so those add-ons were disabled. However, this has no effect on your protection outside of Firefox.

  • Foxfire wants me to update but it says it will disable some of my kesperski anti virus software

    I get a message that there is a newer version of firefox but when I go to install it there is a message saying it will interfere with my Kesperski anti virus software. may as well go back to IE if there are security issues with firefox and those updates conflict with a-v stuff. I have updated Kesperski but it still does not work.

    hello, this message is only referring to the extensions that kaspersky adds to the browser (which offer some sort of additional functionality). however this won't affect the anti-virus protection of kaspersky at all - it will work as usual. therefore it's best to update firefox as soon as possible...

  • I having trouble installing Adobe even after tempararily disabling my anti-virus software, please advise

    Whenever I go to view a video, e.i. YouTube, I get a message stating that I need to upgrade my Adobe. The system re-directs me to the page where I'm able to download and install but I still get the same message when I try to view any videos. I disabled my anti-virus software, re-booted the computer, opened a new page, only to get the same message. I've tried repeatedly to get the desired results but to no avail. Everything else is great. Please help. Most of my homework is in video-format.

    Flash Player Protected Mode provides a modern, sophisticated set of security protections that we see as critical in today's security landscape. 
    We highly recommend that users not disable ProtectedMode.  Also, it's worth noting that by manually changing your mms.cfg, you have opted out of Protected Mode for all future versions of Flash Player, as we will continue to honor that preference. This puts your system at risk, and that risk will continue to grow over time. 
    Ultimately, this is an issue with the RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in.  There is a more technical explanation in the Mozilla bug referenced above in the thread, but the simplified version is that the security enhancements designed to prevent the introduction of malware via Flash Player make RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in no longer compatible with Flash Player for Firefox.  You can disable the record functionality to eliminate this issue, while retaining the ability to view both Flash and Real Player content.
    To disable the Real Player Browser Record functionality while maintaining the enhanced security provided by Flash Player with Protected Mode, do the following:
        Launch RealPlayer
        Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner of the window, and choose Preferences
        Choose Download & Recording from the left-hand menu
        Uncheck "Enable Web Download & Recording for these installed browser"
        Click OK

  • Since download of Firefox Hello desktop & laptop both on Windows 7 are very slow even after refresh, download history removed and anti virus software turned off

    Since download of Firefox Hello my home desktop & laptop, both on Windows 7, are very slow to open. I have refreshed firefox, removed download history and turned off the anti virus software in extensions. All the plugins are up to date. Can we revert back to Firefox without Firefox Hello?

    Firefox Hello is simply a wrapper for technology already in Firefox, it doesn't negatively impact performance if you aren't using it. Are you saying that your entire computer is slow or just Firefox?

  • Access denied error while uploading the document into document library which is associated with a content type

    hi,
     am trying to upload a document in a document library which is associated  with content types [ the content type contains 10 site columns and one of them is taxonomy field]. i added this content type in the document library.
    this document library is residing in a team site which is saved as a template and  based on this template i have created sub sites.
    and when i tried to upload a file to the doc lib, it throws me "access denied error".
    what may be went wrong .
    any help is  appreciated!

    Access denied indicates the user account uploading the file doesn't have access to the library, or sometimes it means there's already a document in the library with the same name that was never checked in. It's also possible that your template contains
    custom code that tries to do something that is not allowed.
    Kind regards,

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    OS X has got its own security systems, so you don't need any antivirus. Furthermore, they will only slow down your computer. If you want more information, read > http://www.thesafemac.com/mmg

  • Could firefox developers use some other company besides google to block attack sites and web forgeries. Google are leaving zombie cookies.

    Google is using the the "Block reported attack sites" and "Block reported web forgeries" to leave a zombie cookie. This setting is under Menu/Preferences/Security. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/self-destructing-cookies/reviews/676076/
    Could the developers please use some other service besides google to perform this function? I want to block these issues but I don't trust google. What has google done for firefox anyway?

    If you discover anyone else offering reputation data that Mozilla could use, I'm sure someone would look into it. But I think Microsoft and the security companies might not be inclined to offer theirs for free...
