[nfbcs] Installing Web Visum

[Steve Jacobson]

Jude,

Are you responding with the latest information on this topic?  My
understanding from other lists is that there is a known problem with the
Webvism add-in and the current version of FireFox but that there is a way
around this by making a change to the FireFox configuration.  My
understanding is that this workaround will not work with the next FireFox
version, though.  Here is the message to which I am referring:

> 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

I take it you first tried to install from the webvisum.com site itself 
first then failed because it wasn't signed and later could not install 
from firefox add-ons.  If this is incorrect, please use the webvisum.com 
site and attempt the install from that site.  If that install also 
fails, webvisum support needs contacting with a bug message about their 
add-on given the new firefox security policy.
