New today for the first time, on startup of my browser, Avast warned of the following add-ons where users have had bad experiences:
Asynchronous Plugin Rendering
D3D9 Acceleration Fall Back
Searching found little, although I think one or both are part of Firefox. So I didn’t accept Avast’s prompt to delete them. Anyone else getting this when they never had before? Is it a bug?
It is correct that avast detects it is a hardly used add-on as it is a brand new one.
The rating will change as more avast users install/have the add-on.
On further searching, I see both were introduced or changed with the Firefox 49.0 release. This was a month ago, September 20. I don’t understand why neither of them were flagged by Avast until today?
I just got the message too when I started my computer. I am confused as in my addon list both names don’t appear at all. Strange enough, Avast told me the addons have a bad reputation from much more avast users.
You wont see them listed on the addon page as they are a official firefox background addon and are hidden. There was an incident about a month or so back with the addon “web compat” which is also hidden, been flagged by avast, But avast quickly fixed the issue.
I would unless someone here says otherwise or you can just use avast to disable them but not remove. I have also just gotten the "poor rated add-ons message now after restarting my firefox. I’m sure Avast will fix this FP soon like they did with web compat.
