I have so far two personal keys within my Gpg4win. WebPG Key Manager sees them, but they appear always "disabled". Even after I have enabled them and clicked OK, they turn back to "disabled" state. When I try to sign a web email, WebPG always selects one of the keys (the first). No way to choose the other.

Thanks for any help.

Which version of Firefox are you using, and what architecture? 32 bit? 64 bit?

Thanks @uyaquk

Have you tried it with a normal install of Firefox (not portable)? I'm not familiar with the requirements for portable apps although I used to run a few when I was a Windows guy. I know there's some black magic involved to get everything running from a portable location. ;)

I only have an XP and Windows 8.1 test virtual machine and both of them are working for me. I think @kylehuff has a Windows 7 VM, and he might be able to help you test further.

I suggest trying v0.9.4 found here: https://webpg.org/download/webpg-firefox/

@darkpixel , @kylehuff :

I've tried your suggestions, i.e. same platform, FF local (non-portable), WebPG v0.9.4. The results: WebPG works ok for Yahoo Mail with basic HTML. If I try Yahoo Mail with new interface, this gets broken by WebPG. Yahoo Mail gets irresponsive, and I can fix it only by deactivating WebPG.

Gmail (standard interface) does not work at all. Though I can "encrypt" with it, recipients can't decrypt (Thunderbird, for instance, says: "Error - Valid PGP-armor data block not found"). Nothing more can even be done, well or not.

Gmail (simple HTML interface) allows me to encrypt, and it works fine. Signing does nothing. Signed and/or encrypted income mail is processed correctly.

Thanks in advance for any additional help.

If you bring up the developer console in Firefox when loading Yahoo Mail, can you see any errors?

Well... Yahoo! Mail new interface does not freeze anymore. I don't know why. Better so. But it works like GMail: no WebPG bar/icon. Only encryption allowed (by context menu). Encryption is somewhat rogue: ok in Thunderbird client; undecryptable on GMail (even in simple HTML interface). Unfortunately, looking into Firefox console does not give me a glimpse of the matter. I'm not a developer, so couldn't understand what I've seen.

As always, everything works well within Yahoo! Mail basic interface. GMail basic interface works fine as a recipient only.
