I use Avast for my security, so I don't want to use the newest version of firefox - what can I do?

I have used Firefox for years. However, the newest release - Firefox 5.0 - says Avast will be disabled. Avast is my security/virus protection - it is good and free. So I cannot use Firefox 5.0. What do I need to do?

My operating system is Windows XP

You can look at the new pre-release version of Avast for Firefox 5.
