Title: Can't download the avast passwords addon for firefox
Post by: dem757 on March 18, 2020, 10:08:57 AM
Hi
I used the avast passwords to store all of my passwords for almost every site. I really like it, because I can't remind all of them. Yesterday I reinstalled my windows on my computer, and I installed avast. I have all of my passwords synchronized from my avast account. But when I installed Firefox and I wanted to install the avast passwords addon I couldn't find it. :( I tried to find it in the addon "market" in firefox and I also tried to install it from the avast passwords, but if I click on "Install avast passwords in firefox" it takes me to the chrome addon site. I tried to find it from other sites, but I can't.
Can someone help me please?
Thanks  :)

- Which Avast..? (Free/Pro/IS/Premium)
- Which version/build of Avast..?
- OS..? (32/64 Bit..? - which SP/Build..?)
- Other security related software installed..?
- Which AV(s) did you use before Avast..?

Hi !
I have a same problem  :-\ not found avast passwords in addon firefox's and when i click on "Install avast passwords in firefox", go to chrome market ...

So :
- I use Avast premium security
- 20.2.2401 (version 20.2.5130.568)
- Windows 10 64bits. version: 1903
- No
- Always avast

I noticed that on their profile there was no longer avast password (check image)

Edit :

I try the solution of @Jeff308 of this topic: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=231502.0
I tried his method but at the beginning it didn't work. So I have done several times (about 8 times) the following method: paste the link from @Jeff308, install the extension then close the browser. Go to Avast-> Confidentiality-> Password-> setting-> server integration then click on Add extension. After several tries, I don't know why but it worked !

Many thanks

Hi,

I have the same problem. The plugin is nowhere to be found in the firefox store.
And if I try to intall from password manager firefox opens a tab but with an error in the certificate of the site, so I donĀ“t advance anymore from there.
Is there a solution?

Thank you in advance.

I suggest you guys check your extensions and settings to make sure you're not blocking the Passwords Manager.

Not the problem.....the app (avast) redirects use to the chrome store instead of the firefox when you want to add the extension. This is a well known issue cause I find a lot about it when I google avast firefox extension. Till today I had no issue and I know what to do/dont. I had to refresh my firefox settins where the issue started.

Did you do your ad-on via the Passwords Manager?

It's obvious that my screenshot isn't from the Chrome browser and the screenshot was taken directly from my system while
using the option to add the extension to the Firefox Browser.

Hi,
The devs will look into this.
Can you tell me which Firefox version you are using, please?
Can you update the Avast program version as well?
As a workaround, you can try to add the extension URL from Avast Passwords directly into Firefox (see the example below)
(e.g https://pamcdn.avast.com/pamcdn/extensions/install/win/extension/en.html?p_pei=[YOUR INDIVIDUAL CODE CREATED BY AVAST PASSWORDS]&cn=User_extension_install)

If you're using the current version of FF (v75), then this works, https://youtu.be/Q2MtbvXzkjw

Hello Bob,

Using the current version 78.0.2 (64 bit)  - followed the instructions in the video, but I am redirected to a page where the only option is to install in the chrome store. The link for firefox extension redirects to the Chrome extension.

This thread is a bit old. There are new versions of both the browser and Avast
Here's what I'm using and as you can see the PW extension is showing.

Here's the issue.  See the picture. All the links point to a chrome browser.
