Apparently some ~terms~of~service were violated. I have been using this superior security suite for over 20 years and with Firefox for 3 years. I will have to switch back to an inferior browser that invades my privacy until this get fixed. PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP.

    The F-Secure Browsing Protection extension for Mozilla Firefox is available again.

    On 18.3.2022, we reported that the Browsing Protection extension for Mozilla Firefox was unavailable. Since then, we have issued the following updates:

    UPDATE: On 22.4.2022, we have released an updated version of the extension. With this latest release (version 4.1.20), all of the functionalities are now available, including Block pages.

    UPDATE: On 29.3.2022, we released an updated version of the extension. With this latest release (version 4.1.13), all of the functionalities are now available, including Safe Search mode.

    Block pages, however, continue to be displayed incorrectly with the error Secure Connection Failed.

    Note: This does not affect the security of your computer.

    We are working on restoring full functionality for the browser extension in Mozilla Firefox.

    UPDATE: On 24.3. 2022, we reported that this issue has since been resolved with some minor limitations:

    • Currently, while pages are being blocked according to the settings, block pages are not displayed correctly. Instead Firefox displays an error that Secure Connection Failed.
    • Additionally, Safe Search mode used by Search engines (Google, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo and Bing) is not available when using F-Secure SAFE Family Rules, or Safe Search mode for Elements EPP products.

    We are working on restoring full functionality for the browser extension in Mozilla Firefox.

    I fully agree ! Firefox with FSecure is best safety combination (NEVER had problems in ten years)

    Please FIX problem ASAP since I would not give up either one or the other

    Thanks !

    I solve it putting site where add-on is loaded (can not post link) to Firefox , Settings , privacy&security , warn you when firefox try to install add-ons , Exceptions . Then f-secure add-on installs to my Firefox (100.0.2) 64-bit.
