I updated FireFox to 13.0.1 last night and my Norton Identity Safe disappeared. I found it had been disabled. I contacted Norton and got this reply:

"If you made to upgrade to the Firefox version 13, they made some unexpected changes which has prevented the Norton Tool Bar from loading. We/the Engineers are working to correct this as quickly as possible. It is SO annoying when Firefox makes these changes and ends up frustrating so many of us. I’ve written a letter to them complaining of their deliberate attempts to keep the Norton Tool Bar from functioning. Maybe if enough others do the same, we might not have to suffer this disruption of our convenience."

Why on earth does this happen so often? I never have problems with the few other plug ins I use. Would be nice if there was better communication for developers of security software were kept in the loop.

Here is Norton's announcement on their updates for Firefox 13, posted on the same day that Firefox 13 was released. Norton has become very good about getting their Add-ons for Firefox updated on the same day, or within a couple of days after, the release of new Firefox versions.
