I have used Firefox as my search program for six months because Yahoo overloads and crashes. Now when I tag my Firefox desktop app to open it McAfee blocks it as a dangerous whatever????? I have uninstalled and reloaded the Firefox browser several times. None of them will be cleared by McAfee. Should I drop McAfee or Firefox?????????? If there's a fix available you should be notifying all Firefox users. if it's a McAfee problem they should be fixing it. Users should not have to be searching for ways to fix problems generated by internet access service programs or providers.
