My Web Rep is back working again. See screenshot.

I hope it is the same for all those who have posted on this subject I opened.

Yes, it was a server side issue which has now been resolved.

It's working on Opera and IE9 but still isn't on Firefox16.  It's enabled on Firefox so shouldn't it be working?

For me, it's working on Google Chrome and Firefox, but not on Pale Moon or IE9.

Should the " suppress WebRep tooltips in search results" be checked?  I don't know what that means but I don't have it checked.

I don't know where you found it, but I would say if you want WebRep to show the results you would NOT want this checked. If you checked this that would mean you are telling it NOT to show you the little indicators that tell if the site is safe or not.

I found it in the browser protection settings and left it unchecked.

Works fine for me on IE9, Pale Moon is not supported.

I don't understand why it isn't and never has worked on Firefox.

It's always worked for me in Firefox, unless the WebRep servers have been down.  The green icons show for many results, but the Avast WebRep popup that should come up when you hover over the WebRep icons will only pop up when JavaScript is enabled for the Search Results page.

The only 2 things it shows on Firefox with a google search are Trafficlight and Website Informer.  I do have JavaScript enabled.
