I started off by going to firefox safemode trying to remove the extension so I could install it again….I got into a mixup...so I hit Firefox refresh...and bingo all ok now
thanks for your help
Hi
Have a look here and check if all is set and do a reboot of your system!

If it continues then you will need to do a clean reinstall of WSA!
Please follow the steps closely!
- Make sure you have a copy of your 20 Character Alphanumeric Keycode! Example: SA69-AAAA-A783-DE78-XXXX
- Be sure you add your Keycode to your Online Console: Webroot SecureAnywhere Online Console
- KEEP the computer online for Uninstall and Reinstall to make sure it works correctly
- Download a Copy Here (Best Buy Geek Squad Subscription PC users click HERE) Let us know if it is the Mac version you need
- Uninstall WSA and Reboot
- Look to see if this folder is gone: C:\ProgramData\WRData and if it’s there delete it. (Hidden Area)
- Install with the new installer, enter your Keycode
- Let it finish it's install scan
- Reboot once again
- DO NOT import any old settings as you can set it up as you like once it's done
Please let us know if that resolves your issue?
Thanks,
I went to the links and re-installed...all looked OK...until I closed off the page and opened up my browser again...it was not there….I’m no expert but it seems it is not loading when you open firefox
I missed Win 10 on last post
Look above as I posted the links to install or reinstall!

I went into addons extentions...Webroot filtering extensions was on...so I slid it off...then slid it back on again and the green W appeared in the menu bar as normal...I clicked on it and it said a component was missing….when I closed off the browser and went back again the icon was not there
Can you tell us which Browsers and what OS?

Hey,
we plan to provide similar functionality (the icon in the toolbar) for FireFox in one of the next releases. This is part of the new Web API support and was not available previously for browser extensions in FF. We are still working to get our backward compatibility to older FF versions sorted, so that we don't have to desupport FF ESR.
Cheers,

Like I said maybe Webroot can't do anything unless Firefox makes the changes? 😠@ wrote:

Okay, Chrome build is able to do at this time what Firefox build is not able to do.@ wrote:

The issueis not installing the Webroot Filtering Extension. I have it. The problem is the Icon in the Upper right side where addinx are placed. The is no 'W' in green which changes on a website to show whether it is goo (check), questionable (-) in orange or (X) in red. It is fine in Chrome.
I've offered bread crumb to my Request.
Okay, as far as we know, there is no way to do that in Mozilla Firefox at this time.
