Avast webrep 64bit browser (Waterfox)

I recently switched to Waterfox which is an unofficial 64bit build of Firefox, it uses the exact same profile and loads the same bookmarks/history/passwords/addons but the only single addon that it will not load is avast webrep. Since it loads everything else that is intended for a 32bit browser I am guessing its avasts problem and not the browsers (loads 15/15 other addons)

Any chance to get that to work? I actually liked that feature

same problem here. lets hope its addressed soon, as I have noticed a greater frequency of viruses slipping by since i started using waterfox.

Like you guy’s have mentioned it is an unofficial build and the user base for this browser is very small so i doubt avast is going to support it anytime soon, if however Mozilla do eventually take this build on as official one day ( let’s hope ) then avast will no doubt support it but this would still be only for stable releases as beta’s are also not supported.

it has nothing to really do with the fact that its unofficial

  1. it uses the exact same profile as firefox, everything is shared
  2. every single addon besides avast is listed as an addon and works. avast isnt even in the addon list

WebRep only works on 32 Bit browsers.

Waterfox 64Bit has Web Rep Add Ons listed :

Mozilla is planning official 64bit version but i have no clue when they plan on actually releasing it. It was suppose to be v12 but who knows with their way of doing things…

again, the fact that its a 64bit browser has nothing to do with it. every other 32bit addon works with it just fine

Again avast does not ordinarily function on beta versions. If you want avast protection you need to use a “build” not a beta.
Beta versions are generally not “bug free” and are by nature not stable enough to support third party security software. :slight_smile:

to be honest neither is any other browser “bug free” :stuck_out_tongue: havent run into any bugs or stability issues since i started using this. the only practical difference is that u need 64bit plugins

anyways fine lol
