  • 1.  Symantec Vulnerability Protection Extension supported in Firefox ESR 45 ?

    Posted Aug 29, 2016 06:52 PM

    Hi All 

     

    I cannot find any trace of the Symantec Vulnerability Protection extension in Firefox ESR 45 once it has been deployed. On the previous version ( ESR38) I am able to view and see the plug in enabled. Once ESr 45 has been installed it is no longer viewable. Is it still supported with this version? 

     

    Thank you

    Yes it is (depending on your SEP client version). See the full list is here:

    Thank you I am getting the following error notificationm when I check the extesnsion:

     

    'Symantec Vulnerability Protection could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled.'

     

    Looking at the list provided it indicates our SEP version is supported - 12.1.6 MP4 (RU6 MP4)

    however our CIDS version is higher than what is listed in this chart.

    I have attached the screenshots of what version we are running.

     

    I am unsure sure why the extension is not being verified.

    If I also go to about:config and try to override signing bychanging:

     xpinstall.signatures.required to FALSE I receive the extensions message:

    Symantec Vulnerabilty Protection is incompatible with Firefox 45.20
