I just went to update Firefox to v39.0 directly from mozilla. I clicked run to install and malwarebytes quarantined the file as Trojan dropper. I ran it on virus total and mslwarebytes is the only one coming back with this result so I'm thinking it may be a false positive. Any thoughts?
 
I'll try downloading it and check it out in a few. Have to run uptown real quick.
 
I just downloaded it and had malwarebytes scan it and it was ok. You can update firefox within itself as well.
 
Hi ! I just discovered that the new Firefox 39 has a problem with the WOT ad-on.
I wasn't able to open Facebook or my gmail until I refreshed Firefox. I later discovered it was the ad-on WOT that was causing the problem. If you have WOT, you can disable WOT or refresh Firefox. Not sure if Firefox has a patch or if they planned it. I just know WOT is not compatible with Firefox 39!!
 
Just fyi, it wasnt the downloaded file that Malwarebytes Pro triggered on. It was when I ran the file to when malwarebytes alerted and quarantined the install file. I got the download by going to Tools/Add-Ons/ and at the top was the message that firefox was out of date. I went to that link to get the install file, it was a mozilla site.

I missed this place!
