Why when I upgraded to Firefox 4 are Google sites are no longer indicated as Safe or Questionable by Nortons 360?
Using the previous version of Firefox, when I went to Google and received a list of sites under a given topic, beside each site Nortons 360 would provide a green check mark, grey question mark, or red "x" to indicate the safeness of the website I was about to click on. When I upgraded to Firefox 4 this feature disappeared. I never set a preference within Nortons 360 or Firefox to make this happen before, it was just always there - it even carried on when I upgraded Firefox within the different version 3 upgrades. I would like to get this feature back.

Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
