by Firefox user 14607070, 6 years agoThis addon is a disgrace for any antivirus company that is trying to be reputable. After opening Firefox after installing the Avira Antivirus Software, it asked me, wether I wanted to install the Avira Browser Safety Addon. Naivly as I was, I clicked yes.
When I uninstalled the Antivirus Software, I wanted to Uninstall the Avira Addon as well. Sadly this addon was the only one of my many installed addons, which was MISSING the UNINSTALL BUTTON. The button was simply not there! An addon you CAN'T UNINSTALL shouln'd be provided by a company trying to get users to trust them with their savety!

posted 6 years agoHi,
I assume you are running into this issue on MacOS. You can run the following command in your terminal "sudo rm /Library/Application\ Support/Mozilla/Extensions/\{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384\}/abs\@avira.com.xpi" to uninstall the extension.
Best regards,
Markus
