I get a message that there is a newer version of firefox but when I go to install it there is a message saying it will interfere with my Kesperski anti virus software. may as well go back to IE if there are security issues with firefox and those updates conflict with a-v stuff. I have updated Kesperski but it still does not work.

hello, this message is only referring to the extensions that kaspersky adds to the browser (which offer some sort of additional functionality). however this won't affect the anti-virus protection of kaspersky at all - it will work as usual. therefore it's best to update firefox as soon as possible...

yeah - but I want those additional functions (esp safe money) so -- thanks.

ok, in this case you'll have to contact kaspersky's support - they are the only ones who can make the necessary adjustments in their addons to work in new firefox versions & provide an update. the release date of firefox is known months in advance, so this cannot come as a surprise for anyone...
