Mozilla Firefox browser extension not recognized by F-Secure SAFE

Hello, I have installed F-Secure SAFE and its Mozilla Firefox browser extension too, which seems to work (the http://unsafe.fstestdomain.com/ URL gets blocked). However, when I open F-Secure SAFE, in the main page it says that the Mozilla Firefox browser extension is not in use. I have the latest Firefox, version 79.0.

    Hi @igloija

    Please check that your F-Secure SAFE is fully up-to-date. First run pending Windows Update, restart PC and click on Check for Updates from the Tools tab of your F-Secure SAFE. That should work but if it fails;

    Open your F-Secure program

    Click Settings

    Pick Browsing Protection

    Choose Reinstall Extensions for Firefox at the bottom

    Close Firefox and start again. You should get a notification regarding Browsing Protection by F-Secure

    Hey,

    I would suggest also testing https://unsafe.fstestdomain.com/ (as in, same site but with HTTPS) to ensure that the extension actually is working properly.

    Thanks for the tip @nanonyme , the HTTPS version is also getting blocked, so it seems the extension is working fine, banking protection also seems to work fine, but F-Secure still says that the extension is not in use.
