How to stop Firefox disabling Web of Trust add on

Firefox has suddenly take a dislike to the Web of Trust add on which I have on my computer. Everytime I use the computer Firefox tells me that the add on could not be verifed and it has either disabled it, or as I found after downloading WoT again, it tells me that it will be disabled when I restart Firefox.

There is no way of overriding this and it is very annoying as I like WoT and have used it for years. Any help please?

Many thanks, Rosie Davis
