-Hi there, i have two questions, actually:

one is: my WOT add-on seems to have stopped working properly-- just in the past few months or so i have noticed that when i try to go to history and select a few links,and "open all in tabs", for instance, they all show up blank! I have done the troubleshooting steps, and verified that it is the WOT add-on that causes this error. I have WOT version 20150708. FF 40.0.2. I have therefore disabled WOT, but am wondering whether i should remove it? Maybe there's another, better-working web protection-type add-on? Or, will there be a fix coming soon? What do you all recommend? I read the reviews but could find nothing pertaining to my more recent wot version.

And my second question is: Lately whenever i start up firefox, i get this error message at the bottom: Sync encountered an error while syncing: Incorrect acount name or password... It has a “preferences” link button after it, but when i go there, i can't find any way to fix this error or find out why it's happening.

Any help would be appreciated! :)

As to WOT, you should contact their support.

There is also;

Webutation {web link} Would you like to know which websites are safe and which website you can trust? The Webutation add-on shows you the reputation of a site with a simple green/yellow/red icon and scans websites against virus and bad userfeedback. Works similar to WOT.
