I need to know if the new FireFox 8.0.1 supports Norton? The last time I tried to up date Norton would not work and I had to go back to 3.6 Please let me know. Thanks Ron
I need to know if the new Fire Fox 8.0.1 will support the Norton tool bar? The last time I updated to Fire Fox 5, Norton would not work and I had to go back to 3.6. Some one said they were working on it but I sure would like to know before I switch. Norton handles all of my pass words. I sure do not want to loose that feature. Regards Ron

I use Norton 360 and the add-ons are compatible with Firefox 8.0. Given that v 8.0.1 was not a major update, it should not be an issue. Please note that the new Firefox 8.0 version disables the Add-ons, so you will have to go back to the Add-ons page and just enable the Add-ons.

All of the advice really helped. Thanks. Ron
Well i currently have Norton Security Suite and the toolbar nor ISP is compatiable with the firefox 8 version. I need a solution or im just going to have to revert back to the firefox 3.6 because Norton has much more protection for computer than firefox
