Latest firefox update and Site Advisor issues

[newjack]

Thanks to both of you guys.I guess I will do this tomorrow if firefix is to release 6.0. What is 1 more day? Besides then I would have to uninstall and reinstall again with 6.0.

No you wouldn't, it would simply update whether you wait for it to happen naturally or go to the website and download/install...that also would simply update the software.

Just about every website I visit is shaded gray in SA, including this site.

There appears to be a problem with Firefox 5 and 6 (which I now have) and SiteAdvisor 3.4 regarding incorrect flagging of websites - we are going to be discussing it on our conference call with McAfee at 4pm EDT today.

I see red flagged website popups as normal but if I proceed anyway the icon remains green, yet in IE9 it seemingly works as it should.  A gray icon can mean that either the site hasn't been assessed yet or the servers are temporarily unavailable.

jakfak the latter is probably the case here.

Now SA is not highlighting any links in Google or Yahoo search, even though I have it set to "show highlighted site ratings".  So I  changed it to "show color-coded site ratings" and still it does absolutely nothing.  Yes, I did enter my password and save the changes.

SA is so unreliable.  I'm really getting tired of this.  And there's nothing wrong with my computer.  I really prefer not to waste my time dealing with tech support chat.  SA is supposed to work and it doesn't.

I rebooted my computer and now SA works.  My sincere apologies for the false alarm.

This is a slightly different issue but before starting a new thread, I thought I'd ask her.

Does anyone notice that for no reason at all the box in SA, "Turn on Protected Mode", will uncheck itself?  I've had this happen 2 days in a row and have had to check it again.  Not only that, but I've had this problem long before this thread started.  Sometimes it will be OK for several days or a few weeks, and then when I'll go to look, the box will be unchecked again.  Note:  I always save my changes.
