Why does my Avast! antivirus program say that Firefox is malware and could be infected and that it stopped my pc from crashing when Firefox opens up?

My Avast! antivirus warns me about a possible computer crash when the Firefox opens up. It does this every time.

I trust that you are aware that Firefox 5.0 is no longer supported, and that Firefox 10.0 is due to be released today.

Please provide a screenshot of those messages from AVG.
