Using Roboform in Orca

[searchlight4759]

One of the advantages of Avant Browser was its compatibility with Roboform. The disadvantage was that it used the IE engine and its inherent flaws.

On the other hand, we now have the Orca browser based on the more secure Mozilla engine but we cannot use Roboform. It would be nice to have the same compatibility as Avant. Until then, I have to put off using Orca.

Why can't we have the benefits of both Avant and Orca which would be a killer combination?

I hope Anderson can find a workaround.

If you searched around the board alittle, it has been discussed in the past that there is a problem on Roboform's end they refuse to fix in order to allow it to be compatible with Orca. Its pretty much a stalemate. Its all in Roboform's court.

would it make any difference if everyone who uses RoboForm and Orca
were to contact Roboform?

I believe that, when I first began using Avant, Roboform didn't work
with Avant? Karen

You can try Karen.. But, I doubt Roboform has much incentive to do any work for Orca. Since I doubt we have a big enough userbase for them to care.

Go to the Roboform website -> Supported Browsers Section -> download script "roboform-firefox-3.0-frozen.xpi" (I mean: use the Save Link As on your hard disk).
Then open Orca, go to File -> Open (choose All Files at the prompt), select "roboform-firefox-3.0-frozen.xpi", and click OK. Orca will install the script, and your Roboform bar will appear.

That's all

Indeed, it looks like this combination does work with v1.2.5:

Roboform v6.9.97: http://www.roboform.net/dist/AiRoboForm.exe (2,927,728 bytes)
Toolbar v6.9.98: http://www.roboform.com/dist/roboform-f ... frozen.xpi (167,628 bytes)

Thanks LucaDB. Please post any incompatibility problems that you may find.

After a day of use, it works perfectly. Very smooth integration.

Thanks to kudos I have installed Orca again and am using the RF toolbar........so far it's working great...........more memory hungry than I remember though...........also would like to be able to move the RF toolbar.........not possible as far as I can tell.

Also would like to clean it with CCleaner...........but haven't figured out how to add it yet......if anyone knows...........let me know.....thanks.

Wow, you don't want to know how long (OK, three days) I've been hassling with this issue. I have to have Orca, and I have to have Roboform. Now, I still do! So many thanks!!
