Additional Information
The first Extension ID is an exact copy of the real add-on version 18.4.140 available at https://reviewers.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/reviewers/review/avast-online-security but with an added keylogger code inside the content_script common/scripts/z.js
The second one is another extension from the same dev.

I reviewed the add-ons and found that the first two exfiltrate user data without users' consent or control.
Sylvain, can you please file a new bug for the unrelated third add-on (and remove it from the list above)? Thank you!
The block for the first two add-ons has been staged. Philipp, can you please review and push?
