Perhaps it makes a difference if Webvisum is already installed. I forgot that
the problem was installing Webvisum to the latest Firefox version.
I have had Webvisum for many years. The only thing I had to do was this:
xpinstall.signatures.required;false
I have upgraded Firefox from previous version and the setting is still there in
the preferences.
Perhaps it could be a good idea to
1) download an old Firefox from Mozilla's ftp site,
2) install and configure Firefox, install Webvisum,
3) make all the necessary changes to the preferences,
4) use a program called Moz Backup to make a backup file of the user profile,
5) and finally updade Firefox to the latest version.
Of course the automatic update checking feature should be turned off, so that
one can do this manually after configuring the old Firefox version.

I have Firefox 44.0.2 and Webvisum seems to work correctly. I just tested with
a CAPTCHA.

Kimsan,
I'm not sure I understand your query. 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.

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...

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.

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.
Mike
