I don't use Norton products myself, so I don't know what benefits it might offer.

Some security suite add-ons will mark safe and unsafe sites on your searches, which could be helpful. However, some change your searches to use a different site, which could be annoying. If you enable it and suddenly can't search where you want, that could be a reason to disable it again.

For future reference, you can view, disable, and often remove unwanted or unknown extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:

• Command+Shift+a (Windows: Ctrl+Shift+a)
• "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
• type or paste about:addons in the address bar and press Enter/Return

In the left column of the Add-ons page, click Extensions.

Then cast a critical eye over the list on the right side. Any extensions Firefox installs for built-in features are hidden from this page, so everything listed here is your choice (and your responsibility) to manage.

Thank you for responding so quickly but I was hoping for a quick yes or no from a Norton subscriber.

Hi

I used to use Norton products myself a number of years ago and never found a good reason to install the toolbar.

When you install some protection programs, among others, a toolbar is also installed. Some work well with the browser. Some do not. If there is a problem using it, disable it.
