I noted an alert notice on my Firefox Extensions screen that advised "McAfee SiteAdviser 2.8 disabled due to security or stability issues". Having conferred with McAfee, I am told that they do not currently support Firefox 25.0 and that it would be best if I downgrade to version 24.0 or earlier to maintain McAfee cover. Can I do this or is there another solution? My PC operates on Windows XP.

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

No you should stay on Firefox 25. SiteAdvisor literally does nothing to increase your security, but using an old version of Firefox leaves you horribly insecure. McAfee will update SiteAdvisor anyday now if you really want to use it

I have upgraded to Firefox 26 yesterday and I am having issues w/ both FF and IE (8), I am getting this warning: "Unresponsive plugin, SiteAdvisor Enterprise may be busy, or itmay have stopped responding. You can stop the plugin now, or you can continue to see if the plugin will complete." After trying Continue a few times and both browsers frozen, I stop plugin and IE is not responding anymore, it needs to be killed hard
