You might want to try a clean install.
Remove the browser Via Programs and features
Then download the latest version from here:
https://www.avast.com/download-thank-you.php?product=ASB&locale=en-ww
Follow this video for the installation:

Noticed a graphical error found in Settings in picture attached below:

Just installed.  Setting for this is in Advanced section.

Seems correct.  32-bit version installed on a 64-bit system.

Here's the message I just received from one of the Avast developers:
"Thanks Bob for replying to this in the thread. Let’s see if a clean install works for that user.

The other potential issue could be that their AV could be out of date (pre 17.9)"
If the suggestions don't help, please let us know. :)

Hello,

- is there a way to open Bank Mode directly by a desktop shortcut directly by a desktop shortcut rather than a right click on the icon avast -> run banking mode?
nb:The configuration "Automatically open Bank mode on the following websites" does not seem to be respected, remains empty despite the addition of a link

- importing passwords does not seem to work (from firefox)

- "flash protection information" into security and privacy center is not translated into French.

- since the update "SAFEZONE" is reported as disabled (in red) in my account

Interestingly, I had a problem with Bank Mode not wanting to initiate on one of my OS's.
A Reboot solved the issue. :)
