Webrep not working in in FF
« on: May 25, 2012, 08:42:11 PM »
I've looked around but nothing seems to fit my situation.  The Webrep icon and indicators in searches have not been working for some time in FF 12,13 (Chrome works just fine).  It's not listed as a plugin or extension (disabled or otherwise) in FF at all but is checked to be active in avast.  I've repaired, uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.  Any suggestions?

I don't get it.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled both avast and FF it refuses to show up, either in the browser itself or a search page.  But avast says it's on installed FF doesn't even "see" it as far as I can tell.  Not sure what else to check.

I don't use Firefox but are you sure you haven't removed/disabled the webrep in the Firefox?

Yes, I'm sure is not disabled.  It doesn't even show up as an addon or extension in the list.  Like avast never installed it.

Try reinstalling Firefox, maybe that will fix the issue?

Did you uninstall avast with the uninstall utility?

Did you uninstall any previous versions even if you didn't have the directory?

Did you do it in safe mode?

Try 'customise toolbar' in firefox, it might be hidden in there.

Not there, nor anywhere I can find. 

Thanks for the suggestions though.

I've managed to fix it.

1. Download Avast
2. Uninstall it with Revo Uninstaller
3. Use the uninstall utility for all versions you have installed in safe mode (important)
4. Delete the Avast folder from the Program Data folder. You might need to unhide/known file types
5. Then reinstall Avast.

That finally fixed it for me on my laptop.
