A window on the screen appeared saying Firefox updates are ready to install. Which is what usually happens. So, I installed. Then, I get a popup that says:

This version of Firefox is not supported by Norton Confidential. You will not be protected while browsing the Web. Norton Confidential cannot protect you while you use this version of Firefox. Phishing Protection requires Firefox 1.5 or later.

I have Firefox 15.0. Isn't that "later" than 1.5? Had I known installing updates would kill my antivirus protection, I would have chosen to NOT install the Firefox updates! But, they don't tell you until after you've installed.

So, crap. Now I'm not protected when I go online. What now?

Do a Norton Live Update to update that Norton add0on for Firefox.

Just FYI, the Firefox add-on from norton is not actually your anti-virus, and does little to actually protect you. Even if it is disabled norton is still running on your computer (it is it's own separate program) and it is still protecting you. So running Firefox without the norton toolbar will not impact your security in a meaningful way.
