Script shield not scanning with latest Firefox.
« on: May 16, 2013, 02:29:42 AM »
I just noticed since updating to Firefox 21 yesterday, Avast's script shield has not scanned anything. If I remember correctly this has happened before on occasions with Firefox updates.

Just took a look at the Script Shield in my install.  I'm running Firefox 21.0 and avast! 8.0.1489 and the Script Shield is working fine for me.  Been using the computer for several hours now and the Script Shield has scanned more than 23000 scripts . . . . Perhaps a reboot of your computer or a repair of avast! would help . . . . ?

Strange, it works with IE and Chrome. But not with the new version of Firefox.

Can't understand why that is for you when we aren't experiencing the same problem.

Do you have any weird/unusual add-ons or settings that might be blocking the script shield ?
Mine is reading 6415 scripts scanned and I haven't had much time on-line today (electricity off for 7 hours today).

Ah, I though you were using the latest version, so never considered that, should have checked your signature (which is now out of date) ;D
