Having had the hassle of trying to get AOS installed and working in Firefox 51.0.1, which failed miserably requiring many restarts, all of which I did.

I had occasion to open the UI again only to see that the Status reporting You're Protected BUT 'There are a couple of things to fix'. The FIX ALL option did nothing other than reporting a Restart was needed and now there was '1' notification. This resulted in the issue reported by many of it never goes away, clicking on the Bell just sends on a merry go round (having reported You have no new notifications).

Running a Smart Scan reports nothing found.

About to restart once again.

If you got AOS working on FF, you're one of the few lucky ones.

Did anybody try a clean install of avast and succeeded in installing the new AOS?

I believe some certainly have (seen in some topics) and some have done a clean install to try and resolve issues, over and above the AOS not working.

Clean install doesn't work because the install routine is broken. Use this method:

That didn't work for me at all (see post after RejZoR's), I could get AOS installed, but no different to my original condition (beta install over the top of 2280), AOS showed enabled in FF51.0.1 but AOS didn't work in searches and AOS icon in FF was greyed out.

I ended up going round in circles before disappearing up my nether regions.

First Hello to all  and early I said I was interested in trying the beta and perhaps giving some input well I must say the new avast premier download went flawlessly but there are a few things and one is important

1 I notice what a few other testers have said that the GUI takes time to load in task bar and when you go into avast it takes time to open.not bad but you can notice the delay

2 this is confusing with the cleaner do you need the separate program or does premier have its own in the security program it's very confusing needs to be told more clearly on this users are confused and me especially

3 this is the big one avast firewall is putting the users connection to public at home so when you put it to private you reboot and lose internet connection and omg I couldn't get back on and on reboot it wouldn't let me log into my  windows account with no connection what so ever I had to do two system restores to finally get back to working condition with internet connection.and when checked the firewall is back to private now the can't log into windows could be your cleaner removing something  but connection lost issue  was the firewall.

but online experience is smooth and fast boot is quick and shut down is good could be better hangs a little but overall you did an awesome job you should be proud great job avast team just work on number 3 that's the big one that needs attention. I read a few other places that the also were having trouble with the firewall and internet connection.       

                                                              Hope it helps you some

We're faced with a problem about Web Shield. We sometimes cannot open the websites until it turns down, like the famous Sina. Once we found the Firewall suspicious, the websites can't be opened still when closed. Web shield, however, is off the way in Firewall. On this occasion, it's amazing that we should reopen them.

Hi Kinry,

could you please specify websites you are having difficulties with? I tried sina.com (is it correct?) in chrome and firefox browsers with web-shield and firewall running and so far no issues observed.

Thanks in advance,
HK

Prior to running the tests, mine to all intents and purposes was working as far looking at FF51.0.1 add-ons showed installed and enabled. But it didn't work in searches, the AOS icon in FF browsing was greyed out and clicking that icon showed zero history/data.
