Firefox 3.5 and Norton toolbar

I know this has been mentioned but I am unclear about it. Is Norton 360 now fully compatable with firefox 3.5, I understand there is a patch but am I right in thinking that for norton 360 firefox users there is still a feature missing from IPS technology, if so what is this feature and just how important is it to my internet security. I have always updated all my security software, windows updates, and firefox browser as soon as an update was available, but thanks to this Norton/Firefox  issue I have not been able to, and I would really like to know what the score is concerning this issue in clear non technical language if possible. I have heard of a lot of people reverting back to the previous version of firefox because of problems, and I can really do without that. Please somebody let me know because I'm seriously looking at uninstalling Norton 360 and looking for an alternative security suite if the issue is not resolved soon.

Hi,
Symantec is working on the patch, the toolbar's patch has been released but they couldn't finish the IPS patch at the same time. Please be a little bit patient, it will be released soon.

Re: Firefox 3.5 and Norton toolbar

How soon is soon?  I think it's been long enough,firefox is used by a lot of people and it seems to me like symantec made a major cockup by not ensuring the latest version of firefox would be compatable with Norton 360. I mean come on, they have been around a long time as a leading security software provider, you would think that something like this would not happen with symantec but obviously it has and it is annoying to say the least. I would like a better idea of when the problem will be sorted out properly.

I do not know any exact date when it will be released but I'm sure they are working on it, and it will be released this month.
