[Njtechdiv] no webvisum can't install new update either.

[Mario]

yeah, the problem is that Web Visum is an unsigned extension (plugin). 
starting with Firefox 43, Mozilla is requiring plugins to be signed. 
Mozilla is requiring signed plugins to improve security and stability. 
the work around I posted disables the requirement, and that applies to 
any unsigned plugin. the "good news" is that the folks who maintain the 
submissions for plugins can sign unsigned plugins so they can work in FF 
43 and beyond. but I can't find any way to email Mozilla about having 
Web Visum signed for us blind users, and it is said that the work around 
will not work in FF 44 and beyond. however, the work around should work 
for FF 43, and it can be disabled when Web Vism is not needed. a bit 
inconvenient, I know.

there is another solution called Romola but it is not a plugin, or maybe 
it is now..., but is a program, and presumably can work with other 
browsers. I do not have/use it and therefore cannot describe how it 
works. but it does cost and, from what I understand is not as reliable 
as Web Visum is.

one thing we blind users can do is flood the manufacturer with emails 
asking them to sign Web Vism so blind users can solve those pesky, 
dreaded visual CAPTCHA thinggys. I'm not sure how, yet.
