[bradar]

Hi,

I installed Avant Ultimate 2013 bld 23 and now my roboform toolbar doe not show. How do I fix this?

Thanks,

I downloaded the Avant-specific roboform installer but I still don't have the roboform toolbar.

Since I am running Avant Ultimate, I tried using both the firefox and chrome engines - still nothing. I do get the roboform toolbar when using the IE8 Standards engine. However, if I would rather run either the Chrome or Firefox engines.

To use roboform under firefox engine in Avant:

Check that RF is enabled in Tools>Mozilla firefox>Add-ons>extensions

If the toolbar still doesn't show up, then right click a page > show roboform toolbar

[bradar]

ools>Mozilla firefox

RF is enabled when I click on Tools>Mozilla firefox>Add-ons>extensions; but no RF toolbar.

And, when I right on a page, there is NO selection that says "Show Roboform toolbar"

Go to Tools > Firefox and click Add-on Bar. Then, right-click the Add-on Bar (at the bottom of the content pane), and if there's no check mark next to RoboForm Toolbar, click it to enable the toolbar.

when I click on Tools > Firefox and click Add-on Bar, NO Add-on Bar shows, in fact nothing happens when I click on Tools > Firefox and click Add-on Bar

You must have a tab open with the Firefox engine when you click Tools > Firefox > Add-on Bar, and the Firefox tab must be selected.

[bradar]

yes, I DID have a page open in the browser

[mbrazil]

Which engine do you have set as your default? Do you have any tabs open with IE or Chrome when you try to enable the Add-ons Bar?

[bradar]

my default engine is firefox. When I set that as the default engine, I close and re-open Avant so I presume the only pages open are firefox-engine pages.

You're right. That's what I wanted to be sure of. If you're unable to get the Add-on Bar to appear, then I'd suggest you uninstall and then reinstall Avant, because it sounds like something is wrong that's preventing the Add-on Bar from working, and that's most likely the same problem that's preventing the RoboForm toolbar from appearing. Once you've got Avant reinstalled, reinstall RoboForm for Avant again too.

Just be sure to back up your profile before you uninstall so that you can restore it later, if necessary.

[bradar]

Ok, thanks for all your help. MUCH appreciated.

Now, how do I backup my profile?

[mbrazil]

Go to Tools > Avant Browser Options > Profile, and record the current path to the Avant Profiles folder. Then copy the entire Avant Profiles folder, including sub-folders, to an external drive. After the copy is finished, disconnect the external drive.

[bradar]

Thanks, Mike. Once I've backed up my profile, to restore it into my new installation of Avant, do I simply copy this backup over the new installation's profile?

[mbrazil]

If you're using online storage for your profile, your profile should be restored the next time you log in, but it doesn't always work right. If your settings, bookmarks, etc. aren't the way they were before you uninstalled Avant, shut Avant down and copy the backed up Avant Profiles folder over the new one. When you start Avant again, everything should be back the way you had it.

Thanks, Mike

In Tools>Mozilla firefox>Add-ons>extensions, it don't even show Roboform. And my Add-On bar don't show anything either. I've never been able to get Roboform to work in Avant using the Firefox engine, and I have the Roboform for Avant installed.

Don't know what to tell ya. I've had to mess with it now and again to get it to work, but I've had it working for a long time.

If it doesn't show in about:add-ons > Extensions, the plugin/Avant version of RoboForm isn't getting installed properly.

I had the same problem in every version from 2013. After install the normal Firefox and reinstall Roboform the toolbar do her job in Avant to. The problem is, that we can't activate the install from the firefox adapter in roboform. Same problem in the avant roboform version.

Roboform doesn't except Avant 2013 as Firefox in installation
