    Hi there,

    Has anyone managed to get the UPEK Fingerprint Protector software working with Firefox 3.6?

    I've tried the instructions on UPEK's website by updating the PasswordBank Library and then manually installing the Firefox xpi extension, but it still gives me an error about the Add-on not being compatible on a restart.

    Welcome To UPEK - Support - Customer Support - Knowledge Base

    UPEK Version 5.9.2.5974
    Firefox version 3.6.3

    Any advice much appreciated! Thanks!

    It works fine for me.
    I just install the Firefox xpi extension from the same page. The passwordBank comes with 5.9.2.5974 is working fine.

    Thanks, I must be doing something wrong then. I'll give it another shot or 2. Thanks for the confirmation.

    Got a URL? I can't find any way to get an update from UPEK's web site. And update from the software itself will apparently only work with major revision changes -- it claims that there are no updates for 5.9.2.5847
