I just updated Firefox 28 with Avast! Online Security 9.0.2016.82. It seems to be working fine. ;D
That said, one of my other extensions, “Is it Compatible?”, reports that Avast Online Security has been certified compatible only with Firefox v. 3.0-25.0. This makes me wonder whether:
- The “Is it Compatible?” message is a false positive, and there is a trivial portion of the Avast Online Security extension script that needs to be updated to avoid triggering the message, or
- There may be a security issue with the Avast Online Security extension in Firefox in FF versions beyond 25.0.
I did not find anything in the forum addressing this issue. Can anyone shed additional light on whether to be concerned about this?
