KeyScrambler does not seem to start automatically upon opening firefox 4. It will start if I go to add Ons and open it manually.

when open firefox 4, keyscrambler shows in the tray, but as yellow...not working, rather than green. If you go to add ons and just click on the KeyScrambler the tray icon turns green and starts to function

This problem is fixed by the following routine:

1-Locate the KeyScrambler folder in Program Files (x86) and open the file keyscrambler.xpi with your Firefox browser. In case you don't know how to do this: A-right click on the file B-select "open with" and choose Firefox. If Firefox is not listed as a choice then click the "browse" button(lower right) and navigate to the Mozilla Firefox folder in Program Files (x86) and select the file "firefox.exe" then click "open" and then "save". Your browser will open a tab automatically and configure Firefox to work.

2-Restart your Firefox browser.

That's all there is to it! Don't forget to check for updates once Keyscrambler loads.

There is another free program called Keystroke Interference(onscreen keyboard) that works in every browser as well as within Windows and all 3rd party applications. You can google the name or go to the NetworkIntercept website for a free download. FYI the paid version is no more effective than the free version; the additions are ergonomic in nature. I've tested it and it works against keyloggers but unfortunately won't defend against screen-readers.

S o l u t i o n : Just go to their site qfxsoftware.com (as seen in firefox "Add-ons" "Keyscrambler" "More".

Their at "Download" get the Free Download Version for free, or Download the Pro or Premium Version (not free).

KeyScrambler_Setup.exe has actual 1.164KB

Install and voila, you have Version 2.7.1.0 and it works with Firefox 4.0 !!

AGAIN, this nice Ad-on hasnt updated itself via the Firefox Browser, like it didn't when the last Firefox Version was new!

Why? I think KeyScrambler is one of the most important Add-ons for my Browser, beside the Add-on "NoScript".

Also when you search for "Key-Scrambler" via the Browser-Add-on-Search you cant find this Add-on anymore!!

Maybe our Goverments didnt like it? ;)

Think twice . . .
