Howdy All, Sorry, but I needed to correct the subject line from my earlier post.
Hi Kimsan, Below are steps to download & install Webvisum for earlier versions. I don't recall if you have to create an account first, but creating an account first would probably be best. Once you have Firefox open, you need to go to the Web Visum website & download the Web Visum add-on. To do this do the folowing; 1. Open Firefox & press control +L, for a new web page. 2. Type in, webvisum, & press control + enter. 3. You will be on the Webvisum home page. Now, arrow down & you wil hear Jaws read the following. Heading Level1Download the WebVisum Firefox extension. Current version: 0.9 Once you click on the add on installation link below, Firefox will notify you that it has prevented the add on from being installed and will prompt you to Allow the install to occur. Press ALT+A when you get this message and allow the installation to proceed. Note: you might have to tab 1 time to the, Install button, & press enter to install the download. Now that you are ready, Link, install the WebVisum extension. Should you need any help with this procedure, please let us know via the Contact Us page. The installation procedure will be simplified in the near future. 4. When you click on the download link & follow the directions that are given, the add-on installs within a few seconds. You need to close Firefox & reopen it. After you open Firefox, press alt + T, for Tools, & arrow down the list to see if you hear, Webvisum submenu. If Webvisum is there., the webvisum add-on has been installed. If you would like Webvisum to Log-in automatically do the following; 1. Open Firefox & press Alt + T, for tools. 2. Arrow down to webvisum submenu & press enter. 3. Arrow down 1 time to preferences & press enter. 4. You will be on the General page so, now tab through to make your selections. Press the spacebar on okay to save your changes & close preferences. When you open the webvisum submenus you can down passed preferences to see what other options are in here. After you open preferences, you can arrow down to see what other options there are, other than General. Hope this helps. Take care. Mike Take care. Mike Global warming?

If you have an earlier version of Firefox on your system, which your reference to v. 36 indicates, you would download and install Webvisum from the Webvisum website: www.webvisum.com/ You wouldn't need to follow the instructions Mike posted for later versions because Firefox 36 did not impede Webvisum's performance. I just did a Google search for the one word "Webvisum." You might find that worthwhile. Again, however, the current version of Firefox, 44, apparently won't work with Webvisum no matter what workarounds you put in place. Also, be super cautious when Web surfing with an old version of Firefox because its security won't be up to date. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kimsan Sent: Monday, February 22, 2016 1:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] having trouble installing Webvisum add-on for Firefox and latest jaws That did not work for me. However, I don't have the webvisum ad-on installed hahaha so maybe that's why? Then again, it's not letting me do the alt a thing to install it. I have version 36 on my external hd, but that wouldn't install. It kept saying downloaded was interrupted. Is there a website to download older versions? I really need webvisum hahaha, I always forget my passwords so I encounter capchas daily. And, I'm to poor for that rumola thing, so let's not suggest that... -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Friday, February 19, 2016 10:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] having trouble installing Webvisum add-on for Firefox and latest jaws Mike, Firefox is now at V. 44. As Dave posted, it appears Firefox no longer enables this workaround. Anyone who avoid installing this version will run security risks. It's a true loss. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike B Sent: Saturday, February 20, 2016 12:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] having trouble installing webvism add-on forfirefox and latest jaws Howdy Kimsan & Taron , Below are steps to get Webvisum to work in Firefox: From: Carlos WebVisum works in Firefox version 42. It will also work in version 43 if you change the following setting. Type about:config in the Firefox address bar and press enter. Confirm that you will be careful if a warning page is displayed. Find the item labeled xpinstall.signatures.require in the list of options. Press Enter on the preference to toggle its value so that it is set to false. To stop Firefox from updating, open the "Tools" menu, select "Options" navigate to the "Advanced" tab, then to the "Update" tab, and make sure that the "Never check for updates" radio button is checked. Note that WebVisum may or may not work in version 44 and will almost certainly not work in version 45 if the developer does not sign the add-on. If you want to continue using it at that point, either stop your existing installation from updating as described above or install a second copy and configure it not to update. You can then run the second copy only when you need to use WebVisum. A portable copy of Firefox might be better for this purpose which you can download here. http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/portableapps/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20P ortable%20Ed./ Take care.
