Thanks, now I'm really paranoid! lol No, there was no execute or run button, just a window saying download and one saying save I think..don't think I missed one as I was looking for something that simple. Haven't decided if I should try to update Norton on top of FF which is backward and may not work, or if I should call India and see if they can fix it if I get their Norton a month early.

Later: found automatic live update in my Norton stuff (duh..) so did that. Still no toolbar but found FF 'whatever it is I forgot' that said Norton IPS was enabled but tool bar was not, also found a question at Norton site concerning that which said you are still protected with no tool bar SO WHO REALLY CARES ANYHOW!!! I know what its for but haven't really used it anyway. I suppose it was never mentioned that IPS was still on because it was assumed everyone knew it. huh..

Thanks, it does help to vent if nothing else, this makes me feel like I'm having to try to learn to be a mechanic when all I want to do is drive the darn car.

Ok - did you save it or run it?
if you saved it- you can find the location it saved to and then run it.

If you clicked run it should have installed - unless you exited out instead.
then you would have to re download it & redo the update.


It says they are compatible now -
[We have released a compatibility update to bring Firefox 6.0 support to Norton Internet Security 2011 and Norton 360 5.x.

To get the update simply run LiveUpdate from the Main User Interface of your Norton Product. A reboot will be required after the update has been applied.

If you are unable to get the patch, here are a few steps you can take to download the patch:

- Run LiveUpdate continuously until it tells you that there are no updates available.

- Reboot your computer, and then run LiveUpdate - The update may have already been applied by Automatic LiveUpdate.

- Please check the Norton Update Center to ensure you're running the latest version of Norton Internet Security or Norton 360. Most customers with a subscription will be eligible for a free update to the latest version. ] from -

follow their directions and see if that fixes it.

saw this about the FF6 -
Menu bar re setting
missing tool bars

I'm not too brave here, followed instructions of link in your last post, got as far as "Are you sure you want to disable all add ons?" Well, no, not really...

Will that take me to the screen shown in the link or was that an older fix and with the new update I won't even get that screen? I think I'm seeing some older fixes come up and it doesn't look like that is what they are doing with newer one. Paranoia....I saw one current where the person said it worked to go to FF Add On manager and click 'This add on still works', do you think I'll end up there? Tried to get add on manager in tools and just got getpersona.com for wallpaper or something.

Tool bar stops phishing, prevents hackers, etc? Doesn't the rest of Norton do that?
I could just call that poor mad guy in India again...then you get computer illiteracy PLUS a little bit of a language barrier for even more fun. lol

Well I just moved up to FF 5 and my Zone Alarm Browser Force field is compatible with it now... yeahhhh..

Are ya zippy?

Oh a bit faster, mainly I'm just happy the ZA browser protection is compatible with it now.

I have been using it since it was in Beta, and am updating as they continue Beta in the updates before they release them to the public as updates.

Im actually loving it! I never really liked the toolbars of any sort, and turn them all off anyways. If you know your not browsing in virus laden areas, then why would we need a toolbar to tell us it is safe. When I was using any of the toolbars I never noticed anything different the toolbar did that I wasnt already doing, and the toolbars were just cluttering up my screen as far as I was concerned.

So, so far it has been great! Less clutter at the top of the screen, and a bit faster at the searches.

Now it wants me to update to FF 6...and I'm not zippy any more.

Also ordered 'fine tune' from IP after I neglected to clean up stuff and computer froze to the point I couldn't open provider welcome page without restart. (haha)
Having second thoughts, should I install it, someone told me it may not be trustworthy and I"ve about learned how to do all the maintenance myself anyhow. Don't know if I can cancel it, probably.
Zygo...sigh

I just upgraded to FF6 and my computer is running much better now. It had been crawling along.....almost like being on dial-up again.....and someone suggested that I upgrade FF. I did that, did the disk cleanup and restarted and now it's running very well. I hope I didn't just jinx myself by announcing this!
