Firefox browser, v123.0.1, 64-bit. windows 10 Pro, 22H2.

Hello, this may not be a problem with Firefox itself at all, but I'd like to try to understand what the cause of the problem I and others are having.

I have Norton 360 installed, in this Windows 10 computer and like to use Firefox for internet browsing, it has always served me well.

I also have Norton Safe Search integrated/add-on to Firefox. This puts a red, green, or gray check mark at the end of each link that comes up during a search and has always worked before.

Recently, I've noticed that such check marks do not appear at all when doing a search with Firefox, but they are present when I do searches with MS Edge.

I am searching for a solution here, and also in the Norton Community. There are others there who have stated they are having the same problem.

Has anyone here heard of this before, would you have any suggestion as to what may be causing the lack of the Norton Safe Search check marks in Firefox searches?

Any input/suggestions would be welcome.

Firefox has stricter rules about extensions changing the new tab page. You can install New Tab Override and set it to *search.norton.com* which has the green ticks.

Thanks for your reply, zeroknight. However, the problem is that when doing an internet search using Norton Safe Search in Firefox, the Safe Search check marks at the end of the search results no longer appear, but they used to up until recently.

In my case, Norton Safe Search 'is' present in every Firefox page and tap that opens up, so it is present and active...

No extension is required for the green ticks to appear on *search.norton.com* but do note that news results and ads do not show them. If you search for "firefox", you should see a green tick next to "Get Firefox browser" like in the attached screenshot.

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?
