Firefox 3, Norton Security Software Don't Mix Well

Poor Symantec. Last time we visited an issue like this, users upgrading to Windows XP SP3 or Windows Vista SP1 were experiencing registry corruption due to Symantec's SymProtect feature preventing one of Microsoft's fixccs.exe from deleting some entries.

Now it appears that Symantec's security products have been having issues co-existing with Firefox 3. The issues have existed since Firefox 3 launched, but Mozilla's recent decision to start alerting 2.0.x users to update to 3.0.1 gave the issue more publicity.
