It will not support/activate any toolbars (site check or whatever) that AVG installs into browsers. Your AVG protection and scanning capabilities will still be there. It is the responsibility of AVG to test their toolbar and change one item in their toolbar code to make the toolbar compatible with new versions of Firefox.

  1. Check your plugin versions on either of the following links':
  2. Update Shockwave for Director
    • NOTE: this is not the same as Shockwave Flash; this installs the Shockwave Player.
    • Use Firefox to download and SAVE the installer to your hard drive from the link in the article below (Desktop is a good place so you can find it).
    • When the download is complete, exit Firefox (File > Exit)
    • locate and double-click in the installer you just downloaded, let the install complete.
    • Restart Firefox and check your plugins again.
