After installing Firefox 3.5.4, I no longer have Firefox listed as 'insecure'.
Anyone using previous versions of Firefox should probably update to version 3.5.4. |

I have installed 3.5.4 and still get an unsecure listing even after several re-scans. |

Possibly an insecure plug-in? |

Firefox v3.5.3 was in the "patched" tab and showed in the "secure browsing" tab as no solution to the security threat.
V3.5.4 hes fixed the "secure browsing" problem and shows in the "patched" tab .
If anything Firefox is showing in the "insecure" tab , then which version & what is the installation path ??

How do you close Firefox so that you can download the latest update? |

Hello Detz ,
You can update easily from within "open" Firefox by going to the "Help" tab at the top (left) of your open Firefox page ; click on it & in the drop down menu click on "check for updates" and a window will tell you if there is an update or not ; if there is one you can agree to download it there and then and it will do so and then offer/tell you to restart.
This method also checks/confirms your original settings , add-ons, etc.
If there is no update just close the window.
Hope this answers your query .
Take care
Anthony
PS:clicking on the X (white on red) top right of the page normally "closes" Firefox , you can check if it has done so using "Task Manager". |

Not sure, as I didn't have the same issue. But you might want to try updating to 3.5.5 anyway, as Mozilla deployed that update shortly after the 3.5.4 update to fix some critical stability issues. |
