FF 4.0.1 will not work w/ ZoneAlarm 1.5.260.0 or AVG SafeSearch 10.0.0.1178. Does FF4 pose a security risk by disabiling ZA or AVG?

The auto update for FF 3.6 pops up the "upgrade to FF4" pane. When I click to update FF I get a pane that says that ZoneAlarm 1.5.260.0 and AVG SafeSearch 10.0.0.1178 are not compatible w/ FF4 and will be disabled. I have not updated to FF4 since it appears that I would lose my Zone Alarm firewall protection. Please confirm that ZA will not work w/ FF4 and any suggested work-arounds. Thanks.

Check with ZoneAlarm and AVG for Firefox 4 compatible versions of those extensions.

With those extensions disabled, it is not going to affect the operation of those programs beyond those two extensions, which IMO aren't really needed. AVG basically duplicates the Anti-phising and Web Forgery protection that is built into Firefox (database supplied by Google and updated daily) and for the Zone Alarm extension I have no idea what it does.

I prefer free Anti-Virus programs (I use Avira free) that don't add "stuff" to Firefox, as many of those "security extensions" have caused problems with Firefox at one time or another, and it seems that the companies that make those extensions just don't keep up with when Firefox is going to release a new version and they are caught with their "pants down". Yeah, like it's a closely held secret when Open Source programs release a new version - NOT.
