Chosen solution

The McAfee Site Advisor 3.3.1 extension was the number 2 cause of crashes in one of the Firefox 5.0 betas and Mozilla Blocklisted it. That extension is disabled in Firefox 5, Firefox 6.0beta, and Firefox 7.0alpha versions. McAfee is working on a new re-written version of the Site Advisor extension to fix their problems - ETA is mid to end of July.

Hi James, Thank you for replying. The info you supplied was very helpful. I will just have to visit sites, I know that are safe until McAfee gets a solution to this problem.

Again thank you and take care...
