Hello Bearded Geek,

It works fine for me with Win 10, BD TS v.19 and Firefox 40.0.3. Exactly what is not working for you?

I can't get it to work. It's enabled in Bitdefender, but has so far, after 3 months, scanned 0 pages and there is nothing in Firefox indicating any kind of connection to bitdefender.

Which version of Bitdefender, which Windows OS?

Open this link, don't worry it is an EICAR URL, not a virus although it acts like one. If your Web protection is working Bitdefender should block it and report it to you, you will find it in the Events dropdown (Anitvirus section) from the BD GUI.

If you do not visit any sites that show in the Web protection section of Events, you have been browsing wisely. I have yet to find one.

Let us know what happens.

Thanks for the assist ( ), but it all solved itself when I upgraded to the 2016 version yesterday.
