Can you try running an online repair to see if this resolves the issue?

Please double check if you are logged in main UI with same account as you've been when it worked for you. Sometimes it may happen that this connection gets lost - repair is one of them and then passwords component searches for passwords storage in different location. We are just know fixing this on passwords side and from new release, this shouldn't happen again even if you do repair or avast reinstall.

I've been using Avast for a very long time, and I've never stopped advertising it around me.
Today, after having also given him my passwords, I lose their use in my browser.
I'm outraged!!!

Hi anonymous.datawolf+avast

What versions of Firefox and Avast do you have? Can you describe with a little bit more detail how "I lose their use in my browser" happened? Is the Firefox extension not hinting passwords? Does it report an error state? I'd like to help you, but I need more information about what stopped working and when.

Thanks,
Dan

Hi,

Firefox 49.0.2

I noticed that the passwords were not automatically filled anymore, and no "key" icon next to.

The firefox button for avast password displays a grey popup.

Tried to reinstal the module, to repair Avast, to reinstall Avast, to reinstall firefox... Failed.
