Yadiel, you gave me the clues I needed. In the past, Firefox has
automatically updated Webvisum, as it does any add-on. That wasn't happening
with Firefox 4. But I followed your suggestion and went to Webvisum for the
update, which I installed. I haven't had occasion yet to use the Captia
function yet.
For anyone interested, you need to be using the Firefox browser to download
the update. Based on my experience, you also need to be patient with page
loading during the process and to use the enter key instead of spacebar when
making selections. Once installed, I had to go into Firefox's add-on manager
to enable Webvisum. Firefox crashed during my first two attempts, but the
third succeeded.

Adrian, could be. Who knows. I did not want to update firefox to version 4
because of webvisum. But I read somewhere, where? right now I cannot
remember for the life of me. That there was a new version of webvisum
available that worked with firefox 4. So I went to the website and
downloaded the plug-in. It so happened that there was a new version
available, version 0.8. So I downloaded and then I upgraded the firefox and
it worked. Maybe it is windows 7 only. But I doubt that webvisum would do
that. But again, who knows? I repeat though, the plug-in is not as snappy
and as accurate as the previous one. Maybe I downloaded a beta without
knowing.

Yadiel, do I remember correctly that you use Windows 7? I have XP, and I'm
wondering if that explains the difference. On my system, Firefox 4 was
definitive that Webvisum doesn't work with it, and on the add-ons page, I
was sent to a Webvisum page that instructed me to download Firefox 3.5.

Adrian, I can report that firefox 4 and webvisum works pretty well together.
webvisum made an update a couple of weeks after firefox 4 was release and it
works fine. One thing to keep in mind is that now capcha solution is not as
accurate as previous version. People in the webvisum community tells me that
that is something they hope will change in a future update.

About a year ago I found that an add-on was causing long delays with
Firefox. Is it possible you recently installed one? Or accepted an update to
one? It might be worth deactivating them one by one to see if the culprit is
there.
I do find that Webvisum slows Firefox down. When I use Firefox a lot, I
deactivate Webvisum until I need it.
Several listers report that Webvisum doesn't work with Firefox 4, so it's
wise to stay with 3.6.
I used to be a Firefox enthusiast, but for me IE8 works better with JAWS 11.

Heya folks,
for awhile now when I load firefox 3.6.16 the latest update in the 3.6
version before it now goes to version 4, running Jaws 11 when I load firefox
it takes quite awhile to load and in the same time I totally loose Jaws
speech for a minute or 2 till firefox finally loads with web visum etc. Is
there a work around for this? and what maybe causing this long loading up as
firefox never use to be like this. Ive tried installing version 4 but it
doesn't work that well with Jaws 11.
I can handle waiting alittle longer for the load but I don't like losing
speech, this losing speech can also happen in some websites that I use with
firefox
Any help here would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Jim
