Avast Firefox Browser plugin blocking Disqus
« on: November 14, 2013, 02:30:12 PM »
Hi there,

A web site I read a lot (spectator.org) has added Disqus as their comment platform.

The Avast Browser Security plugin is blocking Disqus in Firefox.

(Disqus is working fine in Chrome)

Can I fix this with a change in settings or do I just have to disable the add-on?

Thanks for any help!

Using Avast 2014.9.0.2006, virus definitions 131114-0
Firefox 25
Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1 (64-bit)

You can probably add it to exclusions maybe, but not sure if that's possible with websites. I had the plugin disabled myself to get stuff to work for version 9.0.

I am having the same problem with the avast! Online Security ver 9.0.2006.53 Firefox extension last updated Nov. 14, 2013.
I updated my the main avast! Pro at your suggestion. Ver 2014.9.0.2008 def 131116-0.
It does not happen with IE just Firefox with the the Online Security enabled.

I noticed Disqus.com shows up in NoScript after the update but Disquscdn.com does not until I disable the Online Security extension.
