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.

  • Firefox 5.0 won't work with mcafee site advisor-will this be fixed soon?

    When I downloaded firefox 5.0 it checks for incompatible add on etc. and it deleted mcafee site advisor which shows which web sites are safe to use. I went back to firefox 4.0 because it works with site advisor. I'd like to use the newest form of firefox, but want mcafee site advisor enabled. Will this be fixed?

    It will work again if McAfee does a full update...

  • When will firefox 4.01 be compatible with McAfee Site Advisor?

    I get pop-ups offering the latest version of Firefox (4.01) but when I go to install it, it warns me that my McAfee Site Advisor will not work with this new version. Can you tell me when you expect the new version of Firefox to be able to support use of McAfee Site Advisor??? Thank you for your time.

    Check with McAffe for an updated version of the Site Advisor extension.

  • Why would firefox ever publish a software that is not compatible with Mcafee Site Advisor?

    This move freaks me out from searching and I cant even regress the software to a previous version until this senseless push takes into account what matters: "safe browsing"
    The site advisor keeps people from having to click on these basterdized sites that wont go away and contaminating people,s with just a click.

    Hi there. I just found this solution from McAfee's site. I did as it told, restarted my computer and now site adviser works for me with firefox 4. This is from McAfee's site. The link is https://community.mcafee.com/community/home/web_email/siteadvisor?view=discussions

  • Does Firefox 6 work with McAfee Site Advisor version 3.3.1.133, please?

    We have McAfee security software with Site Advisor 3.3, build version 3.3.1.133. Firefox 5 was not compatible with Site Advisor, so we are still running Firefox 4. Before downloading and installing Version 6, I'd like to know whether this will cause any problems, or disable Site Advisor, which is a useful tool. I haven't found any notes on the website giving this information.

    No it doesn't. There is a new 3.4 version of the Site Advisor which is supposedly compatible with Firefox 5 and 6.

  • When will firefox be coming out with the complete 5.0 version that is compatible with McAfee site advisor? As I understand it is beta now.

    McAfee told me the current 5.0 version is a beta version, which is why Site advisor will not work with it. They also told me they are not updating site advisor anytime soon. So when will Firefox be updated to a complete and compatible version?

    Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended. Firefox 3.6.18 would be the safer choice.
    Here's the process to roll back:
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    Close Firefox 5.
    You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
    Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.

  • Is firefox 6 compatible with mcafee site advisor?

    would like to know before i upgrade

    You can download SiteAdvisor 3.4 which is compatible with FF 6.0. Just visit http://siteadvisor.com

  • 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.
    *http://service.mcafee.com/TechSupportHome.aspx?lc=1033&sg=TS
    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.

  • 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.

    The McAfee Site Advisor add-on is blocklisted by Mozilla due to that Site Advisor extension being 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. <br /> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/ <br />

    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.''

  • 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.

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

  • My McAfee site advisor is missing since I upgraded firefox, can anyone help

    Hi, I updated my laptop with the latest version of Firefox this afternoon. Since doing that my McAfee Site Advisor isn't working.
    Does anyone know what I can do to recover this.
    Regards and Thanks
    Arthur

    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 />

  • Can I revert back to my older version 3.6? This 4.0 Version does not support McAfee Site Advisor & I think it sucks!!!

    I should have been warned that McAfee Site Adviser would no longer be available with this new version, especially since I paid '''hard earned''' money to McAfee to have this feature. I would not have downloaded this new version had I known ahead of time.
    Can I revert back to 3.6?

    Use WOT (web of trust):
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wot-safe-browsing-tool/
    Its a way better alternative to McAfee site advisor simply because its open to everyone and supports every browser. Trust me downgrading to 3 is not worth the benefits of 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.
