    I am running Windows 10 and Firefox 63.0.1. My Norton Security Suite will expire in a couple of weeks and I was thinking about replacing it with Bitdefender. Norton does not appear to be rated very high in comparison with other similar software, while Bitdefender ranks right up at the top in the reviews that I've read.

    Does Firefox work well with Bitdefender or are there problems with it?

    I've never used Bitdefender so I can't answer if FF works well with it.

    For Windows 10 both Bitdefender and Norton Security seem to rate well.

    Here only top 5 are mentioned.

    Note that if you don't want to pay, Windows Defender which is free makes the cut.

    If you put the cursor over the bars, You can see that Bitdefender and Symantec Norton Security
    Bitdefender blocked 100% while Norton blocked 99% so that is pretty close.

    Thank you for replying and for including the links. I visited them all and have decided to go with Bitdefender. What it offers along with 3 licenses for $23 just can't be beat...
