PPC Web Spy Tutorial
The PPC Web Spy Not Working Solution tutorial is intended for those that have tried absolutely everything and still cannot get the Add-on to function properly. You will be required to do a complete uninstall and removal of Mozilla Firefox so,
- Open Firefox and goto (Tools> Addons) and jot down any add-ons that you really want to keep and install later on.
- Next, backup any bookmarks that you have. In Firefox 2 go to (Bookmarks> Organize Bookmarks) and then select (File> Export). In Firefox 3, select (Bookmarks> Organize Bookmarks) then (Import and Backup> Export HTML).
- Then remove Firefox from Add/Remove Programs (in Windows XP) or Programs & Features (in Windows Vista). During uninstallation, tick the 'Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations' box.
- Delete the folder \Program Files\Mozilla Firefox (This is the place where Firefox is installed, and on most of the PC's it is installed in the path C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox).
- Delete the following directories if they exist:
In Windows XP -
\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Mozilla
\Documents and Settings\[Username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla
In Windows Vista -
\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Mozilla
\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\
This will delete all of your bookmarks and saved settings, so make sure you've backed up them. Also note down any passwords which you might otherwise forget.
- The final step of removal is to delete the registry entries of Firefox which have a habit of remaining in the registry even if you do a complete uninstall of the program. Make sure you save a backup copy of your registry in case of any errors. Using the Windows Registry Editor (Start> Run> Regedit), delete the following keys - ie. right click on their name in the left pane of Registry Editor and select
Delete:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxHTML]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MozillaPlugins]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins]
You may see a FirefoxURL entry but this is safe to keep. If any of these keys do not exist, do not be alarmed, they may not have been created during your particular install of the program.
- Once you have completed these steps goto http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ and download the latest version of Firefox which at the time of this writing is 3.0.5 and save it somewhere on your computer.
- Double click the install file for Firefox and choose custom install. Choose NOT to import any settings from Internet Explorer and continue the default installation.
- Afterwards using the Firefox browser visit the PPC Web Spy site and login as you normally do. Scroll down to the step that asks you to download the PPC Web Spy Toolbar xpi and install the add-on. After the addon has completed you will need to click on options in the Add-ons box and make sure the Toggle Global is checked and enter in the e-mail address that you used to register with and click ok.
- Your fresh install of Firefox will contain the Mozilla default search which will still function with PPC Web Spy but you can change it by going to (Tools> Options> Main) and under the (Startup> Homepage) field, enter in your desired Google search site. ie. http://www.google.com/
- You are done and PPC Web Spy now functions as intended. Carefully reinstall any add-ons that you jotted down earlier but after each fresh install verify that PPC Web Spy still functions. If you come across one that you know blocks PPC Web Spy post it here to let others know of the incompatibility. Feel free to post here if you have any others questions about the PPC Web Spy Not Working Solution tutorial.
