I am continually prompted to update my 4.0.1 v of Firefox w 5.0. When I attempt to do that, I receive a message about a possible conflict with my Webroot security software, so I cancel the upgrade. Lately I have experienced problems with the firefox web page "freezing". Is this due to the version I am using? I don't want to compromise my systems security with the 5.0 version if I must disable my Webroot. Any suggestions/solutions?
