Afer visiting a website (review), my Firefox (default) Home Page is the same, except that the WOT icon is greyed out, and I cannot get it to function. When I click on it, it says "ratings not available". If I change the home page, the WOT is once again active. I have never had this problem before and have had WOT ever since it became available. I am now using a different home page until I can get this problem resolved. ANY AND ALL HELP WILL BE MOST APPRECIATED. I really depend upon the WOT. Thank you.

It should be gray as the Firefox Home page is not a url, i have the same addon, its designed not to detect about: protocols, nor should it.

This is an edit of my original message to add more information. The WOT is functional on all other websites, and is working as it should. It is ONLY on the Firefox Home Page (default) that the icon is greyed out. My apologies for overlooking an "edit" option.
