When I try to go to my home page, or any other page I get the blank page with message Firefox is unable to locate file 'search.avg.com'. The previous firefox update mentioned a problem with AVG, my internet virus protection. There was an easy fix which was not loading the avg tool bar. This new update has no reference to my antivirus software. 

  I bookmarked my att.com home page to access it -

this is what I have to do from my mail page.

That issue is caused by the an AVG (tavgp) extension extension

The extension has nothing to do with it. The "Search.avg.com" was already disabled and I did remove the AVG Toolbar, and any others mentioned Firefox not compatible with I disabled or deleted, I restarted Firefox and the same problem exists. No extension is connected to my antivirus program.
