Is Firefox 4.0 now compatible with ZoneAlarm Browser 1.5.260.0 and Windows Vista Home Premium, 64Bit System, Service Pack 2? Earlier when checking for updates there were compatibility issues. Were these issues resolved to allow me secure operation with Firefox 4.0?

Thank you for answering my question regarding the compatibility of Foxfire 4.0 with Zone Alarm.. For now I will continue using Firefox 3.6.16.
So that other users can find answers that have worked, please take a couple of minutes to return to the forum, sign in and click "Solved" next to my answer Thanks.
I also am a zone alarm user and was not to happy about the issue with 4.0
I use sky .fm for music and was not happy when it would not play. required update to latest flash,which didn't work no matter what. even the suggestion in another thread.

Express your unhappiness with Zone Alarm for not being ready with an update when Firefox 4.0 was first released.
all well and good except sometimes your updates are rather speedy time wise!
I will wait! I liked what I saw of 4.0 so other than the 2 mentioned things above it looked good!
