suggestion
your friend most-likely "tweaked" his Firefox and or has other extensions added.
Try a clean profile.
I have many extensions, themes, and Personas and have no problem.
Uninstall WOT.
Make sure his FF is current,create a new profile, install WOT.If WOT works with this new profile, then something is conflicting in the other "old" one.
If you still have troubles... contact WOT Support-------

Agreed
This would be the best approach to take.
I'm also curious as to why so many XP users are still using SP2?

I am as well
I am as well.
Possible reasons:
1. Their XP is a pirated copy
2. They are paranoid that Microsoft is spying on them
3. They believe they don't need it and think that it is more Microsoft junk
4. Their systems barely are able to run SP2 and do not want SP3 because they believe it will slow down their system. SP3 has performance improvements that I have noticed
5. They're just GOMs and don't like anything new -

SP2
Microsoft released SP2 available on CD, free of charge - including shipping.
Many pirated copies of XP were upgraded that way, Microsoft noticed the requests for CD well out-numbered the genuine license keys for XP and XP Pro.
SP3 was not released in the same manner.

Remedy
"If WOT works with this new profile, then something is conflicting in the other "old" one."
Before you contact WOT support, try disabling one add on at a time and see if you can find the culprit that way (of course, this assumes it worked in the new profile . . . if not, all bets are off and you probably should indeed contact WOT support then),
If you have NoScipt, that's frequently the offender, If that's the case, then install the WOT add on AND THEN RE-ENABLE NO SCRIPT

More Info on red, yellow, green icons
My friend's a novice; I talked him into FireFox and did not put in any other extensions.
The only one I know of that he should get is WOT.
His computer and monitor were not a matched set; he bought them used. I checked and found a monitor driver for him and improved the screen quality substantially, hoping that would take care of this WOT problem, but it didn't
He's using FF 2.0.3. I see I have 3.0.8. Maybe I'll update his FF and see if that gets us anywhere.
Many people on the web have been speaking against SP3 for winXP. I've been reluctant to do it.

The IE8 and SP3 fan
As the old saying goes You can please some of the people some of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time.
WoT's icon works for me in IE8 however it is not functioning 100% the way it should but when WoT's developers update WoT for IE8 then all will be well in WoT World.

WoT's not working
I move my mouse cursor over WoT icon and nothing happens and I understand that the rating for the site should open so I have to click on the down arrow.
Maybe this is how it is supposed to work? -

Re: WoT's not working
Yes, the rating window opens only when you click the toolbar button. That's how it's supposed to work.
cannot see red, yellow, green icons
helped a friend to put wot in ff. he has winxp sp2.
after installation, the red,green, yellow markers do not show up.
If I mouse-point to the spot they should appear, it activates the four wot ratings,
which print on the screen, lightly., but without the circle-icons or the people-icons.
The symbol does appear up at top, in front of the URL window, as it should.
Any ideas or suggestions?
