In that case I reply.
1. I can get no direct contact to Avast. The link takes me back, the only way to get help is via the forum. Never mind.
2. David's answer seems to make it clear, the message was certainly phishing. If it had been genuine he would have seen it.
A useful warning to everyone.
I just checked and the message has disappeared. Good that I did not click to ‘allow’ the add-on, which was obviously false.

Ladies and gentlemen, we found "Karen" or "Kyle" in the wild...
Explanation:
https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/karen/If you're unwilling to provide volunteers with the information we require to confirm (or deny) it's a genuine Avast! warning... then it's on you, not us, and not Avast!. We dozens of years of experience between us, there is a reason why we're here. Anyone with thousands of posts over years of being on the forums likely knows the answer to your question, or the way to fast track your question if we don't.
Almost all major forums (Malwarebytes, AVG, Norton, McAfee, etc) all have teams of volunteers who serve the exact role we do here. This is true for most industries, I might add. If Avast! had a problem with us assisting you, we wouldn't be here in the first place (either we'd leave, or we'd be banned. Given neither happened... and that we interact with Avast! staff, I'm guessing we're OK).
That being said, I'm glad your issue is now resolved.

Avast! explicitly states on their contact form that the people you deal with here are experienced members of the Avast! Community.
One last smash here.
I am not going to continue with this having to spend half an hour each time decyphering idiotically written letters after hearing unclear reading.
Did you insert a message in firefox offering to add a new add-on?
Or is this a phishing which it looks like?
The irony of your comments is amusing to me. Unclear being the phishing thing you keep speaking about that you cannot describe, or be bothered to post a screenshot for.
