[gui-talk] how do I get webvisum back?

[Gerald Levy]

Firefox 43 added a new feature that blocks the installation of unsigned 
add-ons like Webvisum.  You have two options for using Webvisum.  You can 
either roll back to Firefox 42 or earlier which does not have this feature, 
or with Firefox 43, follow these steps to enable Webvisum, which were 
provided by somebody on another list:

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.

Hi listers ken with a problem.  yesterday firefox updated automaticly as it’s 
supposed to but it disabled all add ons.  firefox says it can’t even varify 
skype click to call or bingbar.  it has disabled all of those as well as 
social fixer and webvisum.  there is no way to enable webvisum again at 
least none that can be seen by a screen reader.  when I try installing a new 
webvisum it says Firefox prevented asking you whether or not you want to 
install this, but when I hit allow over and over and over again even leaning 
on the alt plus a nothing happens.  so since this is obviously some goof in 
mozilla’s update how do I reenable webvisum or get a new version.  it won’t 
even remove it properly it just sits there looking dumb.  any ideas?
