• 31.0 Firefox is not compatible with Norton Toolbar 2014.7.2.6. How to solve this?

  I just installed Firefox 31.0. I received the message that Norton Toolbar 2014.7.2.6 is incompatible. My Norton Identity Safe does not work. I tried the corrections indicated for older versions of Firefox, but they do not work.

  Thanks for the link. Although my problem is not really solved, this shows that the necessary update is not yet available. I will continue to follow the link. So I'll mark this as resolved for now.

• After the upgrade to firefox 4 he eliminated the norton toolbar, and when I go on a site indicators let me know if the site is secure are gone.

  before I did the upgrade to firefox 4 it used to be indicators such as green points with hooks or gray points with an exclamation mark let me know if the site is secure. the norton toolbar has been replaced by a yahoo toolbar and the secure site of identity has disappeared. thought I was doing myself a favor of the upgrade, but now I'm not sure. should have left well enough alone and kept what I had.

  Symantec needs update their Firefox Add-ons to make them compatible with Firefox 4. They indicated that, for Norton 360, they plan to release a update of Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early may - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web & docurl = 20100720113635EN & ln = en_US

  I don't know about the time scale for the updates for other Norton products. Waiting for the update by Symantec, if you want to use Norton modules, you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.

  Downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first of all uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option 'remove my Firefox personal data '. If you select this option, it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.

  Then you can install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your favorite courses, passwords etc.

  I recommend, to avoid possible problems with decommissioning, accessing your profile folder and delete the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Delete these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, check their compatibility and cancel the toolbar customizations.

• I get corrupted files indexing whenever I have access directly to the files on my system.

  I installed Windows 7 on a partition of a raid 0 with Windows XP on a second partition as a dual boot. The installer went well and all the drivers seem to work well. It seems anytime access to files via windows Explorer, my computer, etc., the indexing of files get corrupted. The system detects corruption and upon reboot it travels the disk repair utilities and deletes several files indexing, that it says are corrupt and the cycle goes round. I disabled the indexing on all partitions file and the problem got better but I still occasionally run the disc scan and correct indexing errors more. Everyone knows about this problem?

  Hi clonemark,

  Thanks for the reply on the community forum.

  Have you run any disk hard diagnosis tools that your hardware vendor can provide?  Initially, it sounds like there may be some bad sectors on the disks themselves hard.  If your system is under warranty, you may contact your provider and walk through a test of health with them.  If this is not the case, they have a tool on the site to help you with this.

  Don't forget a RAID 0 provides no redundancy so if any disk fails, without a State of full system / or all of the files you want to back up you are in danger of losing everything.  I want to make sure it is before much more is done, please make a good backup of all the data that you consider to be important for you on this system.

  In addition, if the material is not corrupted.  Check if the table that you created is corrupt.  Errors that you are declaring seem to indicate somewhere in this - table of data or hardware is damaged.  If chkdsk runs and can't find any error then it would be not significant to this procedure, but chkdsk running and to find errors, this is what is worrying.

  After checking if the material and the table are healthy, start in a clean boot state.

  Step 1: Perform a clean boot - this comes from an article in Windows Vista, however, the procedure is the same.  Don't forget to follow step 7 of this article, after the troubleshooting steps are made - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 Note if the computer is connected to a network, the network may be policy settings prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.

  1. Log the computer by using an account with administrator rights.
  2. Click Start
     

     , type msconfig.exe in the box start looking for and then press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

  

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

• On the general tab of the , click on selective startup of , and then click to clear the load startup items check box. (The box use the file Boot isn't available.)
• Under the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft services checkbox and then click disable all.

  Note Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.

• -Click OK and then click Restart.
  

After you restart your computer follow these Rummy to run chkdsk.  This should stop the procedure was running and bringing only to run in your previous post.  Run chkdsk until more no error is detected.  Then the run once more to verify it shows always 0 errors.

If you still experience the problem, and all the steps listed above have been verified, run a tool to remove malware and VIRUS SCAN on all partitions in your operating system.  Check that there is no software of thugs on the system.

Let us know on this question of how things progress.

Kind regards

• While trying to search w / Firefox (and Google), typing accesses only toolbar, tabs-F "File" =, E = "Edit."

  This morning I was watching "Rachel Maddow" on the site Web of MSNBC and the video froze (a common problem with MSNBC). I closed this tab and tried to do something else (I think that access to a site of my toolbar 'Favorites'). That did not work either, so I closed my browser. When I have opened Firefox, I tried to do a Google search. When I typed "F", the "file" tab dialog box opened; When I typed 'E', open "Edit" (B = H = history, bookmarks, etc.). This happens if I try to type in the search box on the Google page or the search box in my toolbar. Any key that is not associated with a toolbar tab does nothing. I can access favorite websites, but if not, the browser is useless. I can't include s screenshot because clicking on my "Screen Grab" button closes the dialog box. All this seems very strange to me - people do you have any clues? Any help you offer is MOST appreciated-thank you! Mark (trymarx)

  If Firefox can not read correctly the State of the Alt key and think it's stuck, this sometimes requires restarting Windows.

• My Mac G5 OS10.3.9 is old for the last update. None of the solutions. Ownloading version 3.6.8 gets corrupted file message. What should do?

  I have a Mac G5 10.3.9 system too old to accept the last Firefox update. Try and get the message "file corrupted". What should I do? My hotmail account will not work now!

  This has happened

  Each time Firefox opened

  == A new upgrade notice appeared in the launch of my Hotmail.

  Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever out of Firefox for Mac OS x 10.3.9 and earlier versions. Another Mac 10.3.9 / Firefox 2 user said the "mobile version" of Hotmail worked for him, but doesn't bother explaining more than that. (Can not help myself, because I haven't used Hotmail in over a decade.)

  Or, try to use Safari to access your Hotmail account.

• Installation procedures w / all Cal Exec, getting corrupt files Error 1335.

  We bought just Calibration Executive v3.3 with all procedures, then we can expand our capabilities in the laboratory of metrology. While installing procedures of the discs, I get errors of corruption (1335) for all the cabins on each disc. I tried to copy the disks to the hard drive and get the same error. We are running windows xp w/sp2. Any ideas what's wrong with the discs? I have a minimal programming experience, but am willing to do all that is necessary to get the software running and upward. We are down in this area, as I removed the old Cal Exec 2.0 already.

  Have you tried it on another computer just to make sure that's not the optical drive? You should also try to temporarily disable all antivirus software. It is possible you have a bad batch of discs - it has been known to occur. If you contact your representative local sales OR they may be able to get you a new together pretty quickly. Maybe even to stay overnight it to you.

• Norton Toolbar does not work in Firefox version 21, 0 - can it be fixed?

  I had to just get my laptop fixed, and the due store format. So, I had to download all the programs that I had, and which had Firefox and Norton Internet Security. Once I upgraded to Firefox version 21.0, the Norton Toolbar no longer appeared in the form of Firefox. Why? Can do something so that the Norton Toolbar reappears in the form of Firefox? I sure * hope * so, as I count on their Identity Safe program. I have a laptop Dell Inspiron in Windows 7-64 bit. If you need more information, please ask.

• I can't use the Norton Toolbar in Firefox 4.0 because he says they are not compatible... How can I make them work?

  The Norton toolbar and the latest Firefox I had worked very well together, however, when I updated Firefox, as the information yielded, he told me I could use is more the Norton toolbar because they were not compatible. He said that, even if two of them are updated.

  You will need to contact Norton on their plans for support to Firefox 4. It is quite common for businesses don't support a new version of a browser after that that it has been officially released, and it is not supported for the candidate/beta phase.
