Some tips for you, -midnight, you might like: https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/5202/a-few-tips-for-using-firefox-40-with-windows-10
AOS has not yet been signed by Avast in the way  Firefox wants it and that is why it is not at the moment available as an enabled Firefox add-on. But the extension is available for Google Chrome:

No problem at all with Firefox and AOS

Don't know why you're having a problem Damien ???

That link is old hat and as Bob said, the avast AOS add-on is signed now. So it should be working on Firefox 45.x.x. Working on mine.

Yea that was dated news with AOS in earlier fx, works fine for me in both firefox and in Google Chrome now.
Mighty important users have it installed, a wrong click on a search result link could get you into a lot of unecessary trouble.
Everyone should have it.
Avast is making improvements again.

I just got on IE 11 and the AOS Extension is there. I thought you couldn't get it on windows 10.  I didn't look for it in the  Windows App store.
