Firefox V66.0.3 - the add ons manager is displaying messages that Avast on-line security (V 19.4.2374) and Avast Passwords cannot be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled. My wife is running the same versions of Firefox and Avast on her PC and the add-ons are enabled. I have tried re adding the add on but it won't download.

Hi diverpeter,

Sorry about that! We're currently experiencing an issue with add-ons. A fix is on the way. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

There was a Bug-A-Boo with a Certificate Expiration Date dealing with the Add-ons. There's a new FF Version with the main Fix, 66.0.4.

Mozilla Blog Post Update:
A Firefox release has been pushed — version 66.0.4 on Desktop and Android, and version 60.6.2 for ESR. This release repairs the certificate chain to re-enable web extensions, themes, search engines, and language packs that had been disabled (Bug 1549061).
There are remaining issues that we are actively working to resolve, but we wanted to get this fix out before Monday to lessen the impact of disabled add-ons before the start of the week. More information about the remaining issues can be found by clicking on the links to the release notes above.
