    I just updated to Firefox 3.5 today and much to my dismay it has disabled the add-on for my fingerprint reader to log into things in Firefox on my XPS M1530. Anyone have any idea on a workaround or an updated add-on? I rely on it heavily...

    Very much thanks in advance if anyone can help with a solution!

    Were you actually able to get it to work using that method? Whenn I try to install the .xpi, I get this error message:

    Password Bank 5.8.2.4488.3 could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 3.5.

    Here you go with the correct link http://www.upek.com/support/customersupport/techsupport/Topic.asp?ID_Topic=70

    Firefox 3.5 support

    Revision: B
    Updated: 7/3/2009 1:14:33 PM

    Firefox 3.5 is supported by following versions of Protector Suite QL:

    * PS QL 5.8.2
    o build 5686 and higher (Native support - extension is a part of the installer. Go to Control Center -> PasswordBank to enable the support)
    o build 4024 for Toshiba (PasswordBank extension has to be installed manually. See instructions below.)
    o any older build (PasswordBank extension has to be installed manually. See instructions below.)
    * PS QL 2009
    o supported by all available builds (Go to Control Center -> Applications -> PasswordBank -> Settings to enable the support.)

    Please note, that ANY OTHER versions of PS QL, which are not mentioned above, DO NOT support Firefox 3.5.

    If you do not have right version please ask your notebook vendor for updated software for your notebook. Each notebook vendor has a custom version of Protector Suite QL and as per business agreements we cannot distribute it.

    Standard version of Protector Suite QL 5.8.2 is also available for purchase directly at UPEK web pages:

    Does not take much to check manufactures homepage good luck..
    If you need the suite google it. ;)
