Re: Latest firefox update and Site Advisor issues

Someone from SiteAdvisor is monitoring these threads so the issue you reported has probably already been noted.

There is also another SA thread at https://community.mcafee.com/thread/37908?start=0&tstart=0 which is discussing various aspects of the new SA release, so keep an eye on that.

Re: Latest firefox update and Site Advisor issues

I see the same as you and Peacekeeper in FF5 with SA 3.4 : put the address into the address bar and the site comes up (no blocking page) with the McAfee SA icon a stubborn grey. When I click on the link that Peacekeeper sent me I get a Red warning page and if I say Visit Anyway the icon here also is grey.

So there's something not right here, which I will report tomorrow.

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

Re: Latest firefox update and Site Advisor issues

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.

Re: Latest firefox update and Site Advisor issues

SiteAdvisor 3.4 which is what you'll get if you download is compatible with Firefox 5. 6 etc.  but we have discovered an issue with SA 3.4 where if you enter a dangerous URL in the address bar of any browser it supports it wont necessarily label the site dangerous.  Also in Firefox clicked hyperlinks that are risky will produce the standard warning but if you proceed to the site anyway the icon remains green.

Re: Latest firefox update and Site Advisor issues

newjack, I just downloaded SA 3.4 over the top of 3.3.1. That kept all my settings (trusted sites and so on).
