[gui-talk] webvisum status

[Gerald Levy]

Starting with the latest release of Firefox, version 44, unsigned, 
third-party extensions like Webvisum will no longer work.  This is because 
Mozilla has begun enforcing strict security standards to prevent hackers 
from infecting third-party extensions with malware.  Webvisum was abandoned 
by its developers a few years ago and so is no longer maintained and thus 
remains unsigned.  Don't bother trying to contact them because they have not 
responded to email inquiries in years.  Webvisum will only work with Firefox 
42 or earlier, so you either have to roll back to this version to continue 
using Webvisum or else switch to Rumola, an alternate image captcha solving 
service that costs only 99 cents for 50 credits and works with both Firefox 
and IE.

Hi listers ken here with a question.  I’ve tried the fix that was supposed 
to reenable webvisum and it didn’t work.  also when I tried to install the 
updated version when I hit the allow button all I got was a not now.  kept 
hitting and hitting and hitting that allow and kept coming up with not now 
not now round and round I went.  sent a message through the contact page and 
have gotten no response.  this was a couple weeks ago now.  is webvisum no 
more and if not are there any suggestions of how to enable it with the 
changes made to firefox?  thanks.
