I've been receiving this message since i need to format my notebook and i installed the latest version of Firefox. Prior i've been using the previous version of Firefox without any issues. My machine is 32 bit, with Win 7, I also have installed Avast, if it is somehow important. If you need additional information please let me know. Thank you in advance for your help!

hi, this is an error caused by one of the addons you have installed (avira browserschutz). in case you don't need it, you can deactivate or uninstall it: Disable or remove Add-ons
