Avast Browser Addon not verified (Firefox 50.0, Addon 12.0.88)

[DavidR]

As it seems a new version of AOS was released yesterday (25 november), that could have something to do with it.

Where did you see that there was a new version of AOS ?

I would like to hope that would get updated during any VPS update (or emergency update), as it wouldn't make sense releasing an update that would only get updated in a program update.

If it did update during a VPS (or emergency update), that would probably need a reboot to complete the update.

When I installed it earlier today it said 'last updated 26th November'. So I think it just gives the date that it's installed on until there is a proper update.

I didn't check it as I mentioned I generally don't visit shortened URLs as you have no idea where they go prior to connecting. So I don't know where or what the "last updated 25 november" relates to.

If you are talking about the Firefox add-on 'more' information for AOS, then mine shows last updated 19 August 2016, so months earlier.

Same update for me and I'm running the latest beta of Avast.

Is there any chance someone who the add-on does work for uninstall then reinstall it? Just to see if it then gets blocked?

I tried to install it on firefox 50.0 with avast 12.3.2280 on my win7 system as I didn't use it on that, only on this test system.

It failed to install (disabled) and it is the same AOS version 12.0.88 as in my image2 in Reply #7 above.
Despite having the same about:config settings for xpinstall.values in my first image in Reply #7 above.

Thanks for doing that, DavidR. Certainly something strange is going on.

You're welcome.

It is certainly weird. The only thing I can think of is I have had the firefox AOS Add-on on this XP system for some considerable time without removing it. Nor have I done a clean install of avast only Program Updates in avast.
