SiteAdvisor 3.4 has been released, which now works with Firefox 5.0. Just go to https://www.siteadvisor.com to download the new version!
Thanks April I'll remove my reference to the beta from the beta downloads blurb I did.
That's all well and good, April, but we Mac users still don't have the equivalent. I know that this forum does not support McAfee's Mac products, but an update to the Mac version of SiteAdvisor cannot be two far behind. Or could it?
So far there isn't one for Safari, but I am sure they are looking into it.
I tell a lie, what's this? http://home.mcafee.com/Store/PackageDetail.aspx?pkgid=358
This isn't the right area for support for that product. however.
Mac FF 5.0 support is coming by end of Sept. Safari is on our roadmap.
Thanks for the heads up April
Just updated and it works fine.
Hi Ex_Brit,
So according to what you have said Google Toolbar won't be compatible ever with Firefox 5,what about versions beyond FF5?.Do you possibly have the link where you saw it.
Message was edited by: Ex_Brit on 19/08/11 4:24:55 EDT PMThat's what Google have said publicly and in emails to me.
This is quoted from Mozilla forums:
The old installed version of Google Toolbar has a file named install.rdf that declares the max supported version of Firefox to be 4.0.
To fix this just open the install.rdf file with notepad and change maxVersion from 4.0.* to 6.* (or later - I put 8.* in mine and am now waiting for an explosion..LOL)
Now, in order to find the correct install.rdf file do the following:
Go to folder : C:\Users\[your user name here]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[sometext].default and search for the install.rdf file
Windows search will find many install.rdf files (one for each addon you have installed on firefox) so make sure that you find the install.rdf that has the line
Google Toolbar for Firefox in it. For this install.rdf file just rename the max version as stated above , restart firefox..and voila! Google Toolbar is back and fully functional!

In IE9 it works properly.
We will be discussing this on our conference call with McAfee in half-an-hour or so.
