NIS 2013 (20.2.0.19) & Identity Safe & Firefox 17.0.1

Here we go again.  Norton Identity Safe and Firefox 17.0.1 are NOT working together - and all the recent posts with statements that is is resolved (with a closed topic) are NOT valid.  Plus, I still do not understand what "Login Assistant" does or why it exists in the Norton Toolbar.  It's actually self-defeating!  So, Symantec, here we go again - a patch that does not take care of this for all of us.  And a service that is not working.  My lesson today, advice for you and me: turn OFF automatic updates in Firefox and wait a few weeks to update the browser.  Mozilla will not like that advice.
