Re: Confused re IPS component of Firefox 3.5 toolbar hotfix

the check box un ticks with the Hotfix installed.  It un ticks because Norton Anti Phishing is working.   Just like it did before FF3.5.   Run FF3.5.2 without the Tool Bar Hotfix and Block Web Forgeries stays ticked.  IPS with or without the Hotfix is still protecting your System.   I'm running FF3.5.2 without the Tool Bar waiting for the in-line release.   My System is still protected by IPS.  I have the History Logs to prove that.  I have received numerous popup notices ~ IPS has Blocked an Attack.   With FF3.0.X IPS was fully protecting my System and with FF3.5.X IPS is fully protecting my System.  Hopefully the inline release will come on Friday and you'll feel better.

Feel better soon

The IPS problem is now fixed in Firefox 3.5.2. The Norton update is Version 16.7.2.9, using the Gamer edition.

However, for some users the 16.7 patch is giving problems and not installing!  See: http://community.norton.com/norton/board/message?board.id=nis_feedback&thread.id=65030&view=by_date_...

I'm still using firefox version 3.0.13, should I wait before installing the latest version of firefox? It seems people are still having problems.

and me...

 

The only difference I can see is the ability to open a new tab with the mouse instead of CTRL+T. 

Lets be careful out there !

You're not really surprised are you? I'm not. I expected this.
