I just installed Firefox 3 under XP and have apparently lost Identity Safe which I depend on for my use of the net. How can I get it back? I am new to this board and after searching I don't see a solution. Thanks for any help. Bob

I forgot to mention in my earlier post that I am using NIS 2008 with XP.
Thanks,

I have a few questions... What is the build of your NIS 2008. Is it 15.0 or 15.5 ? (Open NIS>Help and Support>About> Version).
Are you able to see identity safe under Internet Explorer or that also disappeared?
Are your passwords automatically filled up though Identity safe tool bar is disappeared???

Build is 15.0
IE still has ID safe
No, the fields do not fill in w/o the bar. A few site fill from Firefox not ID safe.

Can you open firefox>View>Toolbar>Show Identity safe toolbar.
Check if the option is already checked, Else check the option and then see what happens??
If it still does not work, Let me know.... I will tell you how to take a backup of your identity safe profile and then will help you in upgrading to the latest build(15.5).

I think to get Identity Safe support in FF3 you have to first update to 15.5
Thats a free update that you can find at http://www.symantec.com/newnis

That is correct; currently the compatibility fix for Firefox 3 will only be downloaded if you have updated to NIS 15.5 with the link provided by 4runner. Great job, thanks!

Thanks 4runner. This worked for me - eventually.
What a long winded process though.
Some notification on the issue from both Norton to its paying subscribers, and Firefox at the prompt to update to version 3, might have been nice..............

Sorry for delay response but out of town. There is no option for a Norton toolbar to be displayed.
Thanks,

Hi BobinVA,
Have you followed the steps earlier in the thread to update to 15.5? 15.5 is required for the toolbar to work in FireFox 3.
