I rely on my BitDefender security and you say it won't work with 7, go back to Microsoft browser?

more options

Firefox 7 apparently will not allow my BitDefender to run. I don't see why I have to select one or the other. Is my only option to dump Firefox and go back to the Microsoft browser?

Chosen solution

Only the toolbar is not compatible with Firefox because BitDefender has probably not updated the toolbar. You can post on the BitDefender forum for confirmation about the toolbar, when it will be updated, etc. BitDefender should still be working in the background to protect you.

Firefox has a feature similar to the main function of most security application toolbars to keep you away from malware and phishing sites. I do not use the toolbar that comes with my security application, but instead depend on Firefox's Safe Browsing component.
