Avast Online Security disabled by Firefox

1) Avast Online Security could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled 2) Avast Safeprice could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled 3) DuckduckGo Privacy Essentials could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled

These three items are not working now, and they are important to me.

Kindly contact Avast and DuckduckGo, and figure out a COMPROMISE to make these items still work on the latest Firefox version 66.0.3. If you can't do that, then I can no longer use Firefox.

My safety is more important than whatever weird idea your update guy had, and who apparently used the "ZERO nada zilch microsoft method of testing" before unleashing it on the unsuspecting user. When will you guys learn about TESTING!?

Chosen solution

There is no action required on your part at this moment to fix the issue. A certificate that allowed extensions to work in Firefox has expired. Our team is actively working to resolve this issue. Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Thank you for your patience.

I add a immediate pop-up here, since it seems to have something to with this issue: "Due to a certificate issue, add-ons are not working and will fail to install. We are currently working on this issue and you can track updates at https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/certi.../39047/ "

FYI: I do not understand "certificates". If I need a dog, car, drivers, fishing, marriage license, I know where to go. If I need a weird unexplained software certificate, there is NO PLACE TO GO and NO ONE TO EXPLAIN IT!

Can you explain this in PLAIN ENGLISH!?

This is one of the many reasons software people are hated: They refuse to explain things in plain english! Will you, can you ever, would you please explain what you are talking about?!!
