How do I stop Firefox treating my antivirus as an add on and blocking it?

Firefox does not block anti-virus applications.
Firefox will block add-ons for Firefox which are installed by any anti-virus program or security suite, if the add-ons aren't signed by Mozilla. That application's developer decided to make those add-ons and install them for Firefox to be able to use.
Firefox 'treats them' by how they are installed; as add-ons for Firefox, based upon how they are installed.
Thanks for your response.
Can I "sign" the add on myself or does this mean that I should contact the antivirus provider?
Contact your anti-virus provider. Self signing isn't allowed, they will need to submit the extension to Mozilla for signing and it will be returned to whoever submitted it.
