The browser extensions Avast Online Security and AVG Online Security are available again in both the Chrome Store and the Mozilla Store. Now AVAST informed me, that the AVG and AVAST antivirus addons for Firefox are back in Mozillas addon store. i have absolutely no idea why this worked but it did. Avast does this without collecting or storing a users identification.
