Avast 2016 has been released.
Since there's usually an ongoing discussion about changes in avast, I prefer to separate this topic into a thread of its own. See http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/virus-spyware/f/3522/t/19659442

Reminder: Here's the latest Time-Line for the implementation of FF's new extension policy:
Firefox 40-42: Firefox warns about signatures but doesn't enforce them.
Firefox 43: Firefox will have a preference that allows signature enforcement to be disabled (xpinstall.signatures.required in about:config).
Firefox 44: Release and Beta versions of Firefox will not allow unsigned extensions to be installed, with no override.
