The WebRep Symbols (not the AddOn icon - thats working) e.g. in the Google result-lists are missing in FF4 (final).
They are present and working in IE8.
Zyndstoff,
thanks for reporting this, seems to be a Firefox 3.x bug related to reading of the localization files. For whatever reason Firefox ignores the string on the 1st line and proceeds to load strings from the 2ns line onwards. Up to now we were not using the string on the 1st line but started to do so recently. This lead to the extension malfunction. We shall insert a dummy entry on the 1st line - this fixes the issue. Firefox 4 users are not affected by this bug.
Had no problem with Firefox 3.6.15 and now Firefox 4.0 with the WebRep icons in Google search results. I don’t use Yahoo search but just tried it and the WebRep icons are missing in Yahoo search.
This on WinXP Pro SP3 with Avast Free 6.0.1035 Beta.
Edit: Just realized that Yahoo search results page requires JavaScript enabled for the page to see the WebRep icon on the urls, while Google search doesn’t.
However, both results pages require JavaScript enabled for the WebRep pop-up on hover.
Inserting a dummy line in the file wrc.properties resolved the problems here.
Go to [b](avast program folder)\webrep\ff\locale\de-DE[/b] and edit the file wrc.properties and add the following line in the beginning: foo=bar
Note: If you use a different locale then you need to edit the file in the appropriate directory (ie. locale\en-US\ etc.)
That worked in the en-gb local also, I don’t know if you did, but I disabled avast self-defence first before editing the wrc.properties. You also have to restart firefox for the change to take effect.
The UAC is not that bad in Win 7. I can’t compare to Vista, because I skipped that, but it’s not as annoying as I had thought beforehand. As a matter of fact, I like it.
I shudder to think what it was like in Vista if you think it isn’t that bad in win7. On my netbook with win7 and UAC set on the lowest level I think it is the devils spawn.
I frequently wanted to know just whose computer it was mine or UAC. I absolutely hated its total lack of configurability as it constantly block the same application time after time after time.
In the end I gave up and completely disabled it, a right pain in the rear.
For me i can conrfim that the icon present in google search, but it is grey and after a refresh in page it take colour.
P.S. I have reply for it in the new sticky for avast 6.0.1044 with more details.
Thnx for ur time.
