    Default No immunization for firefox ??




    Firefox version 3.0.4 w/ Adblock and flashgot only.
    Spybot S&D 1.6 w/ updates.

    Nothing my on firefox excemption list, Vista ultimate x64 w/ SP1 + latest updates

    and why is there 32, 32/64 and 64 as separate tabs.. seems kinda redundant the 32/64 single profile is good enough.

    The "32/64 bit" part are user registry keys that are independent of the architecture, the separate 2 and 64 bit kyes are global for the two browser versions.

    Redundant maybe... redundancy can be regarded as a security feature as well of course

    Is it Portable Firefox? That would be supported only in 1.6.1 (on the doorstep) / 2.0 (beta end of year).

    Has 3.0.4 any bigger changes? Did just see that my browsers test system still has 3.0.3, will have to install update next to check...

    Redundant in terms of display: yes and no. For ease of use, you're right. For trying to locate problems, the full detail range helps. Hmmm... good point, thanks, we'll discuss this a bit regarding possible solutions to make it look more simple.

    The file that Spybot uses to detect Firefox is prefs.js in the profile folder. It starts looking in C:\Users\(username)\AppData\(Local or Roaming or direct)\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini and looks in the profiles listed there for prefs.js.
    Could you please check whether you have that file?

    A workaround might be using the undocumented Portable Firefox support feature in 1.6.1.

    Sorry, I noticed the paths are different in Firefox Portable, thus this would not work. Where exactly did you find prefs.js ?
