Items brought up in a Firefox internet search do not have green "flags" showing they are safe sites according to my AVG 2001, although the flags do appear using Internet Explorer.

No items brought up on a Firefox internet search show a green "flag" on the right-hand side showing they are safe according to my AVG2011.

The green flags or icons do appear when I use Internet Explorer, but I like Firefox better, so please help me get this security feature going.

Please don't suggest that I go to Norton security, because that program clashes with my system and caused it to crash repeatedly.

I would never suggest going to Norton :)

Is the safe search add-on shown as enabled in the add-ons manager? (Click the Orange Firefox button, then select Add-ons to open the add-ons manager). If it has been disabled because it is not compatible you will need to update AVG, for details see http://free.avg.com/us-en/faq#num-4223

I selected Add-ons but that didn't get me to add-ons "manager."
