Install the latest beta: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=80315.msg658226#msg658226

Or wait a pair of days till the next stable release.
May the FOSS be with you!

Hi sqjaw,

This can be overcome by installing the following extension in Fx 5: Add-on Compatibility Reporter
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
It will report if WebRep 20110101 will still work, and you will see it will do so in Fx5.
Your incompatible extensions will now become enabled and if the test is OK they will be back
and working. Works like a charm, enjoy,
