avast! extension for Firefox, settings button not working

[Staffy]

This should work: chrome://wrc/content/options.html

Haven't tried this yet but out of interest is it just a back way into the settings page - the same page that the settings button will take you to if it worked? Bit confused why it's got "chrome". Anything to do with Google Chrome or just coincidence?

I get to the settings button by following Asyn's instructions as clearly shown in the screenshot:)

And I and many others don't, as has been clearly set out in this thread.

It actually has not since many of them aren't trying that link in the proper browser.

Which is?

As I have already posted, I have followed the instructions in IE, Firefox and Chrome with equal lack of success in each.

When the link was posted there was no indication that it was browser-specific.

Besides, what use is a link that doesn't work in any browser? Sort of defeats the point of links, doesn't it.

Nothing to do with Google or Chrome. Just paste it into the Firefox.
If you post this into chrome, it does nothing except get the the search results.

And in Firefox I get a blank page.

Do you actually still have AOS still installed

Installed, but disabled.

OK, I have now enabled it and I have the settings pop-up from the AOS icon.

But the settings button there still doesn't work. I now appreciate that this is a long-winded workaround, but it really shouldn't be necessary.

This problem seems to have existed for going on two weeks now.

See topic title and initial post of the thread.

Yes.

Yes.

Thanks guys. The settings page is displayed.

The reason why I need to get to it is to disable Safe Price but unfortunately, as soon as I clear my temporary internet files and cookies (via ccleaner), the settings are reset. I'll post this as a separate issue as Asyn's  has answered how to get to the settings page.

You're welcome.

Just a suggestion.

I'd be surprised if it's anything to do with TIF.
