To my knowledge, the Webvisum add-on is unsigned and has not been maintained by its developers for a number of years, and they no longer respond to email queries.

I've just updated my Firefox to 43.0.1 and Web Visum works alright, and
I didn't have to make any changes as layed out.
the xpinstall.signatures.required is still set to true.

is there a way to find out if an extension has been signed?

Firefox 43, the latest version, introduced a security feature that
prevents unsigned, third-party add-ons like Webvisum from working.  If
you depend on Webvisum to solve image captchas like many of us do,
follow these steps to get it to work with Firefox 43:


1.  Open Firefox 43 and in the address bar, type the below line as seen
with no spaces:
about:config
2.  You will get a Firefox warning saying: 'This may void your
warranty.' Click on  the button that sardonically says: 'I'll be
careful, I promise.'
3.  tab once to the list of 700 or so items and press the letter X. You
are looking for the below item:
xpinstall.signatures.required
4.  When this item is highlighted, press the context keyh or right click
and choose toggel or press T (same thing.)
5.  The highlighted value should change to false as in:
xpinstall.signatures.required;false

Then press control + W to close the window and when you run Firefox
again, Webvisum should work.

Hello and Happy New Year-



I saw a part of a thread on the latest Firefox with a warning but I could
not find the rest of the thread.  I have a new computer and planned to
download Firefox.  Is there a problem with the latest version of
Firefox?  I
am using Windows 7 and JAWS 15.



Thanks in advance for any help.



Wayne
