"Too new browser" fix for UPEK password bank (Firefox 3)

/*--- holy mAcar00ns!! --- */

Very soon after I bought my Dell laptop which has a fingerprint reader by upek. And it's convenient password bank, I upgraded to Firefox 3 and it immediately stopped working. It's a bummer that the UPEK fingerprint reader password bank doesn't work with Google Chrome, but it's nice at least to have it working on Firefox.

The error that you get after upgrading Firefox is:

“Following browsers were found, but not supported in Password Bank
Too new browsers:
Firefox 3.0 (en-US)”

To fix it you need to find out what version of UPEK fingerprint reader suite you have running. If you're lucky, it's a version that has a download available on the UPEK site which will sort of patch your installation. If you're not lucky they tell you to go beg your hardware vendor for the download.

Welcome To UPEK - Support - Customer Support - Knowledge Base: "Firefox 3.0.x is supported by following versions of Protector Suite QL:

PS QL 5.6.2

To install updated libraries for PasswordBank, please close psqltray.exe process using Microsoft ProcessExplorer (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and copy contents of the ZIP file to the Protector Suite QL installation directory (usually C:\Program Files\Protector Suite QL\ or C:\Program Files\Fingerprint Reader Suite\). You need to overwrite two files:

2) pbgk1_9.dll in "browser" sub directory (C:\Program Files\Protector Suite QL\browser\pbgk1_9.dll)

Once files are replaced, please reboot your computer! After reboot, please check, that Firefox support is enabled in PS QL (right-click on PS QL tray icon -> Control Center -> Settings -> User Settings -> PasswordBank).
