Good to see that Symantec wasn't taken 'by surprise' by this release, like in v.5
Kaspersky also released patch D for their products which basically gives its users support for FF 6.

On 15 August 2011 Kaspersky Lab released a new patch D for Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 (version 12.0.0.374).

The patch D is automatically installed once anti-virus databases of Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 version 12.0.0.374 are updated.

The patch eliminates the problems concerning Anti-Banner, Virtual Keyboard and Web-Antivirus plug-ins display in Mozilla Firefox 6.

These Norton patches are done automatically through their software, right?

You need to manually run Live Update and reboot for the patch to take effect.

How was Symantec taken by surprise with the release of Mozilla Firefox 5? A compatibility update was released the same day Mozilla Firefox 5 was.

Norton are doing good on making it up to date with the latest version.

So it isn't surprise when other upcoming version come and apply another patch.
