I just re-installed two years of protection with AVG. I like this anti-virus protection. Firefox will not allow it to be used. Why not or if it is possible how? I see a similar question about McAfee. I will leave Mozilla Fire Fox if this is not allowed. I do not want to leave Firefox as I have used it for many years as my go to browser.

Is this a problem with extensions that have been disabled?

Current Firefox releases require extensions to be signed to prevent abuse by malware. In Firefox 43 unsigned extensions will be disabled by default. You can set xpinstall.signatures.required to false to disable this security feature in Firefox 43.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
