Hi Symantec
I have recently tested the compatibility issue between NIS 2010 IPS 2.0 and FireFox 3.6.3.
First, I installed the latest version (17.6.0.32) of NIS and found all conponents worked perfectly with Firefox 3.6.3. After that , I de-installed it and then installed the 17.1 Simplified Chinese veriosn of NIS. After reboot, I run Liveupdate manually, only to find there was nearly 70M update files. After that, it did not ask for a reboot and the version number remained the same. The IPS 2.0 and Norton Toolbar did NOT work well with FF 3.6.3. Then I manually reboot my PC and run Liveupdate later on. The new session of Liveupdate required 20M update files. This time it asked for a reboot and then the version number had changed to 17.6.0.32 with the Norton Toolbar compatible ONLY. Then I run Liveupdate again (sounds crazy but that's what I did) and found there were 900K files required. After the session completed, I checked the detailed information and found there was a "product update" included in this session. And then all components (included IPS 2.0) worked well.
The issue i am concering is why all these updates cannot be completed ONCE ONLY?
I am looking forward to your reply. Thanks very much.
