When I click on the green avast! logo in Firefox and it pulls up the sidebar, the settings button on the bottom is not working, anyone have a clue why?
This should work: chrome://wrc/content/options.html
Hello,
I work with firefox 27 I have the same I can not set. Setting button does not work. In chrome that makes it.
Sincerely,

See my reply above.
What is that? It’s not a webpage.
If you can’t reach the settings on the bottom, reach them from the top:

You are totally missing the picture. I am not talking about Firefox settings, I am talk about avast! settings…
Thanks! This worked, the question now is, why does the plugin not work…
In fact the sidebar says this website is unknown…
Figured that part out, it is because Amazon Instant Video is running as I typed this.

It is the Option site for avast! Online Security. Just copy/paste the address then go. It should open the AOS option site. see image ( it is in Spanish because I am in SA )
IE - The webpage cannot be displayed.
Chrome - This webpage is not available
Firefox - blank page.
I do not think it works with IE. Besides, AOS option button works even with IE 8.
I do not use Chrome so no comments.
It definitely works with FF 27.0.1 since the screenshots are mine. Here with different settings. see image
I just paste the address given by Asyn in my browser bar and enter it. That’s it. No idea why it is not working for you though :-\
Didn’t work for me.
Asyn’s link works if used in Firefox 27:

It does not work if pasted into another browser. 
It worked this time but stayed open only long enough to see the setting’s. I have it set to block everything.
Bottom line. AOS is more trouble than it’s worth.
@Paul_D,
I have to disagree with you.
Not for me, it doesn’t (in FF27)
It’s obviously hit or miss, so not a solution for everyone.
I got it to work once in Chrome, but no longer.
Disagree all you like.
Web Of Trust (WOT) does everything AOS does, does it better, has a much larger user base (so many more ratings) and doesn’t cause the heartburn AOS is clearly causing so many people.
I’m sick of pussyfooting around this. I didn’t want to post an alternative in an avast! forum, but this is ridiculous.
I actually ran the two in parallel at one stage, and WOT red or yellow flagged many more sites than AOS.
Since the ratings are totally user based, that doesn’t necessarily mean those ratings are totally correct.
I use it strictly for the added phishing protection since I have almost everything else unchecked.
Agreed. But statistically the broader the data collection the more accurate the data.
So you can still get at the settings button? That makes you one of the lucky ones.
