V2016 Beta 2 is HERE! (2016.11.1.2235)

[REDACTED]

Any idea why avast! Online Security extension doesn't work at all? I'm using Firefox 42 Beta 5 64bit. It's not even listed in Firefox...

Hi RejZoR,

The reason that the Avast! Online Security extension does not work in Firefox 42 is because Firefox has started "signing" their add-ons (extensions). From https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-on-signing-in-firefox?as=u&utm_source=inproduct : "Mozilla verifies and "signs" add-ons that follow a set of guidelines to ensure that users' information will not be stolen or manipulated. All add-ons hosted on addons.mozilla.org undergo this review process in order to be verified and signed. Add-ons hosted on other sites will need to follow the same guidelines in order to be signed by Mozilla. " There is a lot more information about signing on that page.

Just last night, I checked the list of add-ons that are signed, and none of Avast!'s are signed so they will not work with Firefox and will not be listed in Firefox. I specifically have not updated my version of Firefox because of this. I'm hoping that Mozilla's and Avast!'s developers work together soon so this situation is rectified.

Best regards,

Lockup happens again. It must be avast related, as this time I can see AvastSvc.exe consumed 25% of CPU (1 of 4 cores).

I made a process dump so I uploaded it to avast ftp.
Filenames:
20151014-NON-KernelDump.7Z
20151015-NON-AvastSvc.7z

First one is from yesterday's lockup (Kernel dump), second one is today's dump of AvastSvc.exe.
Support package id: WNBZ5

Hope this helps.

Lockup again. Something must be wrong. I'll try clean reinstall of avast.

Ok then, what happened when you reboot your computer? The button is still there?

Getting so many crashes (lock ups) I'm considering fitting seatbelts to my computer chair.

Required 3 reboots when I started my system today. Lockup occurred again whilst using MS Excel - unable to use keyboard or mouse. Hard restart and I didn't get far into that reboot when avast tray icon showed Red X opened UI which showed needed to restart. Then I got another error related to loading language dll and the avast needs to restart windows.

This has been going on for so long 10.4.xxxx beta builds and still this hasn't been resolved, I have great patience, but this is getting very tiresome very quick.

I believe that will come in due course, first the beta download servers are updated before any notification.
