Garmin, AVG, no longer compatible?

This is more of a vent, than a question. Why is my FF always updating to new versions that aren't ready for the public? Why would you release a version not compatible with AVG antivirus, one of the largest on the planet? I thought FF was supposed to be a secure browser but they don't want you using an antivirus? Pretty pathetic. Extra pathetic is that it hasn't been compatible with the Garmin plugin in ages. Again, the largest GPS seller in the US and I have to use IE to use it. What's the point in FF anymore if they're reverting to the same cheap garbage that made people switch from IE to begin with. Oh, but I'm sure there some huge run around I can go through if I want to use half of there features.

Firefox 8 already compatible with AVG See:

if you install popular addon from our addons.mozilla gallery, we always release compatiblity before release Firefox, rest of them are not updated because some of them disable there plugin support

  • every antivirus product they released patch asap when Firefox release, Norton release compatibility within 2 hours, Kaspersky release after 2days, and the main fact is addon are just featured of extra protection, if your antivirus web component enable, your antivirus show green bold light then all is ok.:)
