How to enable IBM Trusteer Rapport in Firefox Nitro (Firefox 57)

IBM’s Trusteer Rapport banking security plug-in doesn’t currently seem to work with the latest version of Firefox. Fortunately there is a way to manually enable it:

Ensure you have the latest version of Trusteer product installed. You may need to visit your bank’s website to get this.

In Firefox click the menu button below the X (close) button.

Select Add-ons

In the Add-ons screen click on the gear wheel next to the search box

Select ‘Install Add-on from file’

Navigate to C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Extensions\{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}

NB USER_NAME will be your name or PC logon name

Select the file named rapportext@trusteer.com

NB This may be called rapportext@trusteer.com.xpi on systems set to display full filenames

Click ‘Open’

 

You should now see the Rapport icon to the right of the browser address bar. It will be grey on a regular website but turn green when you visit a supported banking site.

NB Check the icon is green before proceeding to use any protected websites.
