Would there be any issue if this is disabled on Firefox?
If there is an issue, how would I resolve it on my end? How would I enable Avast Online Security on Firefox?
Please see attachment for reference.
Thank you for your help, it’s highly appreciated.

Not really as the main protection is the avast Web Shield whilst browsing.
The AOS has some elements that I would say are a bonus, rather than a must have - I have it on this XP/Firefox system - mainly so that I can refer to it if a question is raised in the forums.
I don’t Have Safe Price enabled on either of my systems.
You can remove them from the avastUI > Settings > Components > Security Browser Extension (AOS) and the SafePrice Browser Protection. This will uninstall the modules in your browser/s.
That said I think you are asking a slightly different question, because firefox has both disabled and the AOS not being verified. I don’t know why it isn’t verified or what firefox means by verified, it could be that it hasn’t been signed, but then I would expect the same error for SafePrice.
What avast version are you using (12.3.2280 being the latest version) ?
What firefox version are you using (48.0.2 being the latest regular release) ?
Hi DavidR,
My avast is the latest version just now, and I think it got resolved when I updated my Avast to the latest version. So thank you for your prompt reply. I just thought it was strange that AOS is not enabled in Firefox, but as I’ve said, it’s been resolved now as soon as I downloaded the latest Avast version.
God bless…

You’re welcome,
I just found it a bit strange as the AOS add-on is signed, so I couldn’t imagine why firefox would object.
