NIS 2010 support for google chrome and firefox 3.6

Is there a  date when nis 2010 will support for firefox 3.6. Firefox 3.6 is nearly a finished product all the blockers/bugs are patched it is just a matter of time they push out the finished product. So do we see support for firefox 3.6 asap.

 

Chrome 4 now supports extensions so does symantec plan to support google chrome fully

As by FF3.5 Symantec will only update the Toolbar and the plugins to work with 3.6 when it is finished and released to the public, or when they get the final version (if they can get it before us...). If they found any incompatibility issue that will be fixed first, then will we only get the patch. If there's no error, we will get earlier. We will know this only after FF3.6 is released....

Chrome 4 is still a beta, if Symantec will support it, it will be only decided after it is released. At the moment the most used browsers are IE and FF, Chrome is ~5%*. I think Symantec will only create the plugin for Chrome when it will be used by more users. Plus maybe it is a licencing question/problem too....
