Longtime user, first poster............. (state the obvious: I luv SpywareBlaster!)

I have noticed on my WINBlows XP machines (SP2 & SP3) that blocked sites for FF are turned off after I exit FF3.5.3

If FF is not open & I launch SB4.2, it shows 'partially blocked, 230 items have protection disabled'. If I 'enable all', life is good for SB.

If I close SB, open FF and then re-launch SB, all protection is enabled. But, the minute I close FF3.5.3 and relaunch SB, the disabling of FF (only) sites occurs.

This occurs in the above scenario, every time. I have looked In FF settings (preferences) to see if there is anything to set/change. Nothing appears 'evident' to me.

Anyone else seen this behavior with FF3.5.x + SB4.2? suggestions to fix?

Thanks!

Thanks, Firebytes:

This thread didn't show up when I did my search before posting. That (disabling site preferences in options/clean) did the trick as far as SB is concerned.

My only question is whether that is a good thing or leaves stuff behind that I really do/should want cleared? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

P.S As a 'known issue' for SB users who use FF3.5.x, is this noted in the documentation?

Thanks!

GW

Hi--I have done as suggested and verified that neither of these settings was checked in my FF options and I still have the same problem. Is anybody else still experiencing these 230 items remaining unprotected? THANKS!
