If IE keeps Norton Toolbar viable, why can't Firefox?

Every time Firefox updates, Norton Toolbar gets left in the lurch. I am not the only user with this problem. Surely, it is not beyond Firefox genius? The suggested fixes from Norton just do not work. In fact, they are thoroughly useless. Come on Firefox, get your act together.

For recent Firefox updates, Norton has released an update to their toolbar within hours of the new Firefox release. Norton restricts their toolbar to one Firefox version at a time until it is thoroughly tested and they do not release an update until the final Firefox release is made for each version; '''''that is their decision to make'''''.
Links to Norton's update instructions have been posted here many times and the instructions work for most Firefox users. If Norton's update instructions do not work for you, you need to contact them about correcting that problem. '''Also check in ''Add-ons > Extensions'' to be sure that the Norton items have not been disabled'''.

    Thank you for replying. Unfortunately, I already did all of these things. As you can see from the below screenshot, the language is already set. Also, this screenshot was taken in Safe Mode, so NoScript is not enabled. About:accounts still says I need to enable cookies for some reason. So, this solution didn't work....

  • Why can't Firefox find the simplest sites and sites that I frequent?

    Why can't Firefox find ANY of the servers for the sites I frequent the most?
    Were you bought out by Google Chrome? This is beyond frustrating and ******* off your customers even if you are a free service is probably not a good business model.

    for some reason i can open firefox twice and did not know if this is normal. also my Norton 360 only shows up on the second one trying to find out if this is a something i need to correct and how to go about it

  • Norton toolbar no longer compatable with firefox 4. Do I need to go back to IE so I have it working?

    Norton toolbar incompatible with Firefox 4. I need to use IE or Safari for my browser since I upgraded. I would prefer to use Firefox but to many things are no longer compatible.

    Norton have a history of being slow when it comes to updating their products to work with Firefox updates. Norton have indicated they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May, I do not know about other Norton products - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    If you want you can downgrade to Firefox 3.6 pending updates from Norton.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6.* you can 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 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.

  • Will my Norton security suite and Norton toolbar work with the new Firefox?

    A previous version of Firefox eliminated my Norton toolbar and I had to reload an older version of Firefox to get it back. I have been reluctant to upgrade to newer versions of Firefox because of this issue. Are you now compatible with Norton?

    It depends on which version on Norton you have: I have '''Norton Security Suite '''(not to be confused with '''Norton 360'''). Norton Security Suite is provided free to Comcast customers. [http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-360/Which-is-better-Comcast-free-Security-Suite-or-360/td-p/320970 The updates to Norton Security Suite seem to be a bit behind Norton 360]. Currently Norton states their Norton 360 product can be updated using [https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/kb20100720113635EN_EndUserProfile_en_us?q=Firefox+22 Live Update ] so the toolbar will work in Firefox 22, but this does not seem to fix the toolbar issue with Norton Security Suite. This is a highly frustrating issue that causes me not to want to update Firefox.

  • My Norton toolbar doesn't workm in Firefox 21. It says it is incompatible with said version of Firefox. It is Norton toolbar version 2013.3.4.3.

    Also, there is no "enable" button next to the listing in add-ons list. I have the most current version of Norton Internet Security installed and there are no further updates available on Liveupdate.
    How do I resolve this issue?

    How can I remove Norton Toolbar when there are no buttons to remove or enable/disable?
    Besides, I wasn't aware the toolbar had a standalone download? I thought it could only be received through Norton products such as Internet Security.
    Please advise.

  • How do I return to firefox 3.0. Norton toolbar is not compatible with firefox 4

    When I upgraded to firefox 4 I found the Norton toolbar was incompatable with this beta version. I contacted Norton and they suggested I return to older version of firefox. How do I go back to firefox version 3.6?

    The Turnitin system requirements on mention Firefox 3. If it does not support Firefox 4 you can 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.

  • Why Can't Firefox Zoom Feature remain constant on all windows?

    Why can't I keep the same zoom size on every window that pops up instead of having to use the zoom feature under the view tab every time a new window comes up? IE has this feature. Why don't you?

  • The Dolphin Browser is compatible with the Toshiba Thrive (I can see video). Why can't Firefox provide the same?

    The Toshiba Thrive is not listed on your site as a compatible device. I have installed Firefox on my Thrive. I love the inteface. But, the lack of a flash plugin is a deal breaker. If Dolphïn and Opera and Maxthon can provide it, why can't FF?

    Flash on Android is not the same as Flash on Windows or OS X. Adobe and Google have both radically changed how browsers and plugins interact. Without documentation about these changes the Firefox developers need to try and make educated guesses about what Adobe and Google designed. This is a slow and hard process.
    Most browser are only a skin over the Android stock browser. Thus they get Flash support for free. Getting Flash working on a non-stock browser is a lot more work. Firefox 10 will provide very limited support for Flash in 2.2 and 2.3 devices.
    Work is ongoing on getting Flash working on Honeycomb devices.

  • Why Can't Firefox Uninstall Itself Completely?

    I use MZ components because I appreciate the options to closed apps such as Outlook, IE, etc. However, one thing that bugs the heck out of me is the inability to completely remove itself when so directed. If an app like Firefox knows how and where to install itself, why the heck can't it completely uninstall itself?
    I recently completed a clean install of W7-64b on a new machine and added Firefox 10. Experiencing an issue, I uninstalled it (or so I thought). From that point on, new installs froze the system and produced random issues of lockup. Checking the registry I found remnants everywhere even after asking to completely remove personal files, history - whatever. Removing all the remnants and reinstalling fixed the problem.
    Like I said above, if you know where you're publishing during the install, why can't you also make sure you go back and remove everything when directed?
    As a workaround, at least publish a checklist for following up to make sure all registry entries and directories are removed.

    Delta Search in NO way comes with firefox, unless you downloaded a bogus firefox, always download from mozilla.org

  • My Norton Toolbar won't work in Firefox 8.0. How do I restore an earlier verions of Firefox (7.x)?

    Every time I have upgraded in the past, Firefox has said the Norton Toolbar wouldn't work after the upgrade. Each time it actually did work, except this last time, when I upgraded to 8.0. How do I restore Foxfire to an earlier version (7.0.1)?

  • I already updated Adobe Flash to latest version, why can't Firefox detect it?

    Through a company IT rep, he helped to update my Adobe Flash Player already along with installing Firefox 3.6
    Now why does the firefox claim "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video" when the Flash Player was already updated to the latest (i.e. attempt to view youtube videos for testing).

    There are two different versions of Flash, the ActiveX version which is used by Internet Explorer and the Plugin version which most other browsers use, including Firefox. If both are installed, two versions Adobe Flash should appear in Add / Remove Programs in the Windows Control Panel.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />

  • Can I use Norton toolbar and Identity Safe with Firefox ?

    I currently use Chrome on my Windows 8.1 PC , and I am considering switching to Firefox following good reviews , but I would want to be sure I can use my Norton Identity Safe and toolbar .

    Yes, Norton keeps their Firefox extensions up-to-date with the Firefox release schedule; the updates are usually available within hours (if not minutes) after Mozilla releases a new version of Firefox. Much, much better than other Security Suites that are currently available.
    As already mentioned, all the user needs to do is to run a Norton Live Update after Firefox is updated, although sometimes the user may need to run the Live Update a few times to get all the updates to download and install.

  • Why can't Firefox addons website recognize I'm using Firefox 5?

    I have been using Firefox 5 for some months now, but since last week, Firefox addons website doesn't recognize it as Firefox 5. For example, every time I try to install recently updated theme, there is a message saying it is "Not available for Firefox 3.5.8". Even this page where I'm typing my question now, where you say "We've made some educated guesses about your current browser and operating system", Firefox version shows 3.5.8, and Operating system shows Vista, but I'm using Win7. Why is this happening? Can you, please, help me?

    You have or had an extension installed (MegaUpload toolbar|NET_mmhpset) that has changed the user agent.<br />
    You have a corrupted user agent that identifies you as Firefox/3.5.8
