FireFox 6
 

Is anyone using FF6 released today yet?

Is it working well enough to do the upgrade or should I wait?

I'm still using 3.16 LOL

but zone alarm just did a major upgrade/update so maybe the new FF will be compatible with the force field browser from ZA.

might test it out later tonight or in the morning
have to pick/freeze some green beans shortly:cool:

Took a quick look for articles about it -
looks like might be best to wait a bit.

Thanks Jo
yeah I figured prolly best to wait.

I keep getting that annoying popup telling me to upgrade but right now my computer is running so well that I do not want to risk anything that could upset that delicate balance lol and new versions sure have a history of doing that!:rolleyes:

I'm using it now. Works just fine....

6?

lol Not up to that yet.

Going looking now.

It's really great for me!

hard for old ladies
 

Could someone please give me the definitive answer whether or not FF update is going to disable my Norton? I have looked at some of the info but I see conflicting reports and am not computer literate enough to understand the reasons.

I have Norton 360, FF update said it said it would disable 2.0 (I think) and I think what I don't understand is if 360 is 2.0 updated or a completely different version. It disables the Norton tool bar?

I've read reports new FF not working very well, but they have fixed it? ok...is the FF update pop-up I've had hanging around for a long time going to give me the initial update or the new and improved version? Also Norton wants me to upGRADE, does that have anything to do with this? I read that they were also doing something about the compatibility but that sounds like they want to sell me something.
Thanks, Zygo

Firefox usually says to check with your security software program provider - to find out about compatibility issues.

I found this about FF5 + Norton - hope it helps - I am staying with the older version of FF for now.

I'm still running FF 3.17 due to my security program (Zone Alarm Extreme)- I lose the browser force field protection if I update to the newer FF.

no laughing...
 

Well I looked at the link and thought I understood it. It said to update Norton first so I downloaded it...then it said to 'execute'....I had no idea what that meant, tried to find it but it was too esoteric, administrative tools? Device manager? Sacrifice a goat? I had no clue. So I decided to just leave it as my Norton runs out in 32 days and I was going to get it from internet provider anyhow and I ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE UPDATE BUTTON ON THE FIREFOX POP UP AND DIDN'T KNOW IF I SHOULD STOP IT AND IT UPDATED. My Norton toolbar is gone, does it matter? Do I still have Norton? I seem to.
I guess when I have to get it from provider there may be issues but hope the guys in India can take care of it?

It is really fast, my computer was becoming gimpy and I'm back to near wireless speeds with my cheapo dial up. Pleas tell me I'm not being infected with computer leprosy as we speak...I suppose I should uninstall it, do the Norton and then redo it? Don't think I can do that.

Thanks, Zygo

did the execute part have a "OK " or "Run" button? - that usually is what you click for installing.

I found a thread on the Norton site that discusses this in more detail - I'm not familiar with Norton so I don't want to give bad advice.
here is the info that should help you -
