    There is no workaround. Browser IPS is not supported on FF22. Should be corrected in the next release of SEP. List of supported versions below:

    Hello,

    IPS uses a browser extension for Internet Explorer or Firefox to provide this protection. For more information about supported browsers, see Supported browser versions for browsers intrusion prevention.

    Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) 12.1.3 supports Mozilla Firefox version 3.x - 16.x.

    Firefox Version 22 is not supported.

    Check the following items:

    Hope that helps!

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Symantec community.

    After looking at system requirements of SEP 12.1 RU3 these are the supported web browsers. Need to check note as well.

    Web browser

    • Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, 8, 9, or 10
    • Mozilla Firefox 3.6 through 15.0.1
    • Google Chrome, through 22.0.1229.79

    Note: This list of supported browsers applies to the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager only. For a list of supported browsers for Browser Intrusion Prevention, please see Supported Browser versions for Browser Intrusion Prevention.

    Currently the IPS engine has been updated to version 12.0.1.3 that is compatible up to the newest Firefox 24.x version. The update of the IPS Engine comes automatically with the IPS Definitions update (you need IPS defs from 2013.10.02 or newer revision). You can check the version of the your IPS Engine on the SEP Client -> Troubleshooting -> Versions -> Engines -> Intrusion Protection Engine (or IPS depending on the SEP Version used).
