Update will nuetralize my AVG Safe Search--How serious is this and when will a fix be ready?
I would like to update Firefox, but have concerns that it will not be safe to browse if the AVG Safe Search is disabled. How serious it this and do you know if a fix will be forthcoming by you or does AVG provide a fix?
I had chatted with AVG Tech Help. They have confirmed that AVG Safe Search is still NOT compatible with Firefox 6 yet, only the AVG Toolbar is. They are working on it right now and will release the next update once it is done.
Here's the information from AVG forum, read the last post by DrDemento:

you are sending me a firefox security update but it is not compatible with my anti-virus(avg safe-search) and my user script manager(grease monkey). I sincerely doubt I'll be surfing more secure without them.
I won't update until you fix that.Unless you want to Test the 6.0 Beta 1 then just install Firefox 5.0 to stay on the Release channel and only get release update prompts whether security or next Major release.
Actually that prompt is not really a security update per say but a update option to try the 6.0 beta 1 since you are on the Beta channel due to still using the 5.0 Beta 7 as you said.
Actually there is a recent version of GreaseMoneky that will work, however not sure about the AVG extension at moment. -
How do I stop Firefox Start Page using AVG Safe Search?
When I use the search bar on the Firefox Start Page it uses AVG Safe Search. How can I change this so it uses Google instead?
See the [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]] article for details of how to solve this.

Works in IE no probs, Add On shows in Add On's List. AVG Safe Search Toolbar not available in toolbar lists.
Because I am having issues with Norton Security Suite with the upgrade to Firefox 4.0.1, I have been dealing with that as well, with no success to-date. However, I did notice today when I was looking in my trash, an interesting thing occurred with the upgrade that MAY have something to do with the apps. in Facebook not working correctly now with Firefox.
In my trash, there are several folders of 'Recovered Files'. Two of them are loaded with Internet Plugins for Facebook and were all dumped on May 1st, the day I upgraded to v. 4.0.1 Firefox and began having all my problems. For example, they are plugins like: plugin-cross domain.xml, plugin-gateway-1.php, plugin-102452128776.gz-72.json, just to name a few of them. Now, I am wondering if they were inadvertently removed during the upgrade process, or if they are in conflict with the new upgrade. Should I put them all back into Library -->Internet Plug-Ins to see if that resolves the problems? There are so many of them, I wish there was a way to mark them in some fashion in case I would have to remove them and not take the wrong ones out! Maybe there is a way I can color code them before I move them. I hate using 2 browsers!
I notice that 2 other people have this problem but I don't see where they left any post. I really wish Norton, Firefox, and Facebook would get this ironed out. I never had a problem with anything until this and I don't like to spend all my time trying to troubleshoot something I don't understand! Anyway, thanks for listening. -
I downloaded the latest AVG update and with it they were more than happy to hit me with a stupid search bar at the top of Firefox, as well, when I open a new tab it goes to a page that looks like Google but is the AVG Safe Search page. I don't want it to happen! I would like if I could set it so Google home opens when I open a new tab but I haven't been able to find that option.
Try this?

For about a third of websites I visit, at some point I receive a "Firefox has encountered a problem and needs to shut down" window. I have to disable both Adblock plus and AVG safe search in order to continue. This used to happen for two or so sites, and I disabled the ad-ons before going to those sites. It has increased to the point that the adblock plus and safe search ad-ons are becoming pretty useless. Is there any way to rectify this problem. Sending error reports has no effect.

I tried to update but it would not allow me to update, isn't that odd!?
Have you changed anything in the Photoshop installation areas? If the updater doesn't find a pristine installation it will fail.
The only area you should ever put anything into is the plug-ins subfolder. Everything else is hands-off.

Does your incompatability with my AVG safe search leave me vulnerable?
You're trying to get me to upgrade to 6.0.1, but say you will disable AVG Safe Search 10.0. That appears to leave my computer vulnerable and has stopped me from upgrading to your new product. You say you'll make the upgrade compatible with AVG, but when? And what happens to my computer's security in the meantime? Thanks!
'''<u>Read</u>''' the second item, then the first item on this AVG page:
*http://forums.avg.com/us-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=171860
Firefox has a built-in function to keep you away from known malware and phishing sites. The '''''Safe Browsing''''' component is similar to some functions provided by AV/AS toolbars.

AVG Safe Search provides icons after the names of websites to indicate their security status. All of your previous versions of Firefox supported this feature. Could you please make it available again in Firefox 4.0?
It is down to AVG to make their add-ons work in Firefox 4, not Mozilla .You need to contact AVG about their plans for supporting Firefox 4. It is quite common for companies to only support a new version of a browser after it has been officially released, and not support it during the beta/release candidate phase.

I have iphone 5; my battery life decreased dramatically after updating to ios 6.1.2. How do I delete and go back to previous iso?
Downgrading the iOS isn't supported and wouldn't help even if you could. There have been reports of decreased battery life after every update since iOS 1.0.1.
There are lots of things that can be done including reinstalling push email accounts. basic phone reset (pressing both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears), and restoring the phone with and without a backup. -
I have a problem in my iphone 4 with wi-fi after update to IOS6 please can help my how can solve this problem?
Nope
One needs to press the home and sleep / wake keys together for the phone to reset
The other thing I could recommend
Let the battery run out and the phone completely "die"
It may take a day or two with it not being used
Then plug it in to charge and see if there is any change in behavior
If you cannot get this to work - you may need to bring it to an Apple store -

Has the ISP modems and routers been power cycled then tested again?
Possible ISP connection issues or LinksysSmartWiFi.com service outage maybe...
Are FW versions on all routers up to date?
To safely update FW, I recommend doing the following: Download the FW file from the support site first.
Disable the auto update feature on the router. <If this was on, possible someting was updated recently. I recommend leaving this OFF.
1. Save router config to file first using IE or FF with all security add-ons disabled.
2. Factory reset the router with all other devices disconnected or turned OFF accept for 1 wired PC.
3. Reload or Update the FW using IE or FF. Just download the FW file to your local wired LAN PC.
4. Factory reset the router and then set up from scratch first and test with out loading the saved config from file. Check to see if any problems are fixed before loading the saved config from file. Sometimes you need to set up from scratch with out loading the saved config file. Just safer that way. -
I am trying to update my apps but it is asking for my card details and when i enter them it says my card was declined but i havent bought anything, can i see what the purchase is for?
Again, Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased and will always have to be updated using that account.
Always, mean exactly that, always.
If you want them to be on your account then you need to buy them using your account. -
i bough a new imac, this haven't dvd burner, i bought a external dvd burner but the imac havent a idvd and i need this program, no other one, how to download this and install?
Hi
how to download this and install?
There are no free DownLoads !
There are no legal DownLoads at all !
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.
