I’m running avast! Premier version 2014.9.0.2016 on my local machine and avast! Online Security is activated in my Firefox 29.0 primary browser. You can see the relevant window in the image below:

However, I’m unable to establish default settings for avast! Online Security because when I click on SETTINGS in the lower-right corner of the avast! window I’m taken to chrome//wrc/content/options.html where no content appears:

Or, if I click on the link I’ve just now posted in the preceding paragraph, I’m taken to http://chrome//wrc/content/options.html where the following page greets me:
http://flyvapnet.com/Avast/Avast5.jpg
Mind, my secondary browser is Google Chrome Version 34.0.1847.116 m and the above-mentioned process works just fine in that browser: I’m able to reach the default settings by clicking on SETTINGS. I paid my $49.99US and installed avast! Premier correctly, including the browser extensions for both Firefox and Google Chrome; but, due to said extension’s SETTINGS hyperlink not working properly in Firefox, I’m having to select avast! Online Security settings on every Web page of every Web site I visit, because I’m prevented from accessing the extension’s default settings.
I’m sure you’ll agree this situation is one big pain in the neck for me, the ickle customer—not to mention all the many other Firefox users out there in ComputerLand. Please help! What can I do? No, I’m not going to use Google Chrome as my primary browser. I’ve long since gone over to Firefox and here I shall remain. In the event, your helpful advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
