    Anyone having issues with this? If I enable it I get this:

    Clicking "Let's go" does nothing. I have already clicked that and it was working but isn't now.

    I tried uninstall / reinstalling but that did not help.

    Hello @Krusty:

    Yes. I saw this also. The issue has been reported to, and acknowledged by, the Malwarebytes Browser Guard (MBG) team manager.

    For me, the temporary workaround is to "Remove" the MBG extension, from the Firefox browser, and restart Firefox. Then, download/install a new MBG version extension.

    Install the new MBG download as usual, and avoid selecting "Factory Reset" from within the new MBG install for now. In all other respects, MBG and its ongoing improvements/fixes, should be okay.

    Thank you for reporting this!

    Can I please verify that version 100.0.2 of Firefox and MBG 2.4.2 is what your W10 system has installed.

    No issues here with the MB extension in Firefox.

    That didn't work for long. I have disabled MBG for now.

    Hello @Krusty:

    When you can, are you using MBG on your Mint Linux system w/Firefox and do you experience a similar issue there?

    BTW, the MBG team seems to make a significant effort to make it work & play well with uBlock Origin. Malwarebytes staffers are also recommending uBO.

    I am hoping the MBG team has prioritized this issue.

    Thank you.

    No, as my Mint machine is severally underpowered I keep FF trimmed down to a minium.

    Thanks.
