I wrote to Tom privately about this, but since it has continued, 
think about this. AVG is a program that operates outside of Firefox. 
Firefox cannot "know" what you have installed outside of its own 
environment. Their promise to check add-ons is about those that are 
added onto Firefox. AVG is not an add-on. Firefox DOES check any 
add-ons installed and advises of impact.

Firefox has also built in many security setting options today. I do 
not see it as security and privacy Un-friendly at all.

Just my opinion.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or
