please I’m asking about avast free 2017 , when I installed it , it doesn’t install the security browser extension in mozilla firefox ?
anyone please help me
Which version of FF…?
32 or 64 Bit…?
64 bit
FF64 bit is not supported in the latest stable build.
It is in the latest Beta > https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=197296.0
Avast 17.1.2286 couldn’t install AOS on 64bit versions of firefox.
This was meant to change in the latest avast beta 2287, but I found I couldn’t even install it on 32bit versions of firefox.

This is what I got after I allowed it:

Yep, it should work with the latest beta.
Still the same bloody state, avast says its installed, firefox has no entry for it.
Several restarts, uninstalls and reinstalls AOS isn’t there. I give up, life’s to short for this nonsense.
Maybe one of your many extensions is blocking it ???
Extensions don’t block the installation of other extensions (they are generally blocking web content), plus none of my extensions have ever done this and none of those have changed and they haven’t stopped it before.
Not to mention you should still get the firefox intervention about installing a 3rd party extension as in your image 1 in Reply #5, nada, nothing, zero.
As mentioned in the main beta thread, you need to wait for 12 hours according to the devs.
I hadn’t opened FF since early yesterday and didn’t have the extension there yesterday.
It has been days not hours and it still doesn’t bloody work. The main topic introducing the 17.2.2287 beta was posted on 17 February 2017, (17:28:14 UK local time).
I have seen nothing from the developers, only your posts stating that they have said something about 12 hours and it has been close to 1 day and 22 hours since then.
If the devs are going to introduce delays/invites or whatever, then it should be in the MAIN post of the introductory topic, so users aren’t wasting their time.
I’m done wasting any more time on this after having uninstalled it from the avastUI.
It was posted on Slack, if you join us there, I’ll gladly provide the link. 
I don’t really care where it was posted, if it isn’t in the avast forums and there are restrictions to a beta or regular release, then users/beta testers should be made aware of it.
I don’t feel I should have to join slack or any other medium to find out information that should be released to avast users/beta testers in the forums.
Since this effects all beta testers even those that don’t have access to slacker,
this definitely needs to be listed in the beta notice. It’s OK to discuss the problem and find a solution on slacker or any place else but,
it needs to be disclosed in the Beta section.
- Well, I told you (and all others) in the beta thread.
- No problem Dave, that’s up to you.
Well as I said it has been way longer than 12 hours and it still doesn’t work, not that this matters any longer as it is history, enough time wasted on it.
As it doesn’t work on FF ESR yet, I also dropped it.
You should also get the notification on Google Chrome/Firefox (12 hours after installtion) to install AOS however you will not if you’ve ever removed the extension or declined to install in past.
If in the past on Chrome or any devices which are synced to Google Chrome account had removed AOS or declined to install… Chrome would change the AOS state to removed thus leading to all devices on the Google account to not get any notifications of the plugin in the future. It’s a feature of Google…, I’m pretty sure the same applies to Mozilla but can be customized.
One more thing to note here is plugin notifications are delayed for 12 hours after installing Avast. I’m not impressed by this and it actually makes users think it’s not working. I’ve asked on Slack if there’s any chance of changing that in the past.
Alternatively, you can get AOS for Chrome from here if you don’t get the notification: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/avast-online-security/gomekmidlodglbbmalcneegieacbdmki?hl=en
