Save the file. Then Close Firefox.

Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.

Mac: Open the "Applications" folder. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac

Linux: Check your user manual. If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it. See Install Firefox on Linux; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux

Look for, and rename any Mozilla or Firefox program folders by adding .old to them. Do not rename the Mozilla Thunderbird folder if there is one.

After rebooting the computer, run a registry scanner if you have one. Then run the installer. If all goes well, remove the OLD folders when you are done. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If there is a problem, start your Computer in safe mode and try again.

Does Firefox create problems with Avast, or does Firefox crash because of Avast? I'm not sure what the incompatibility is that you're experiencing. There are many users who have both Firefox and Avast. Problem occur from time to time (you'll see that if you search for Avast here), but usually everything can be made to work together.
