After you type "about:config" into the address bar (Control-L), tab
repeatedly until you land on the button labeled "I'll be careful, I
promise".

In step 2, I can't seem to locate that be careful thing...

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
