Norton is responsible for updating their extensions for Firefox (by the way, norton virus protection is still running, it isn't dependent on Firefox to run). Run live update a few times to try to update them.

I understand that the virus protection is still on. But what about the vulnerability protection? The tool bar is there and I get the Norton Web status on searches so I am not sure what is NOT covered???

Here is Symantec's support article: Message: "Norton Vulnerability Protection is incompatible with Firefox 22.0" after I install the Firefox update:

You are still proactively protected from the browser-based and web-based attacks through the multi-layer protection technologies in Norton solutions including the Symantec Intrusion Prevention, Download Insight, and SONAR.
