When will McAfee Site Advisor be available on FF5?
Downloaded FF5 and was advised that McAfee site advisor was not compatible . I rely of this feature. Whose problem is it to fix--yours or McAfee? And when will it be fixed?
An alternative add-on: <br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wot-safe-browsing-tool/
Mozilla blocklisted that add-on due to it being the #2 cause of crashes in the Firefox 5.0 beta versions. Mozilla contacted McAfee and discussed the problems the Site Advisor was causing prior to adding it to the blocklist. ''(it has been causing problems for many years now, it has been known as one of the most problematic extensions ever since McAfee bought that extension from the original developer)''
McAfee is building an all new add-on, which they say should be available during the 3rd week of July.
IMO, the Site Advisor extension just duplicates features that are already built into Firefox since Firefox 2. It uses a different database and adds a few "bells & whistles", but given the problems is has caused over the years, it is unnecessary.

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.

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...

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.

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.'' -
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.

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-youThe 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.

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.

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 will windows 8.1 be available for nokia phones
when will windows 8.1 be available for nokia phones?
I wish I had some way to give you hope but unfortunately you're definitely not the first person to ask this question. VZW has made it clear that they aren't in the customer service business so we now must take matter into our own hands. Write directly to the CEO.
You can contact Mr. Daniel S. Mead (CEO) by going to www.verizon.com/about/leader/contact/73.
Maybe if enough of us say something they'll try to at least pretend they appreciate our money. -
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
ArthurThe 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 />
