Good morning,

Today I have formatted my computer. So, next step is install all the software I use. I use your app and when I reinstalled, I received your advice to update mozilla. I have download the file and I usually check with virus total the link and the file. Your link is ok but the file have a malware.

I'm sorry but how I can trust in your downloads and advices?

Thanks

This is a false positive. Especially when it was only one result and it was about the 7zip (7zs.sfx) as some antivirus still trip up on that for the last couple decades even. Also this false positive tend to happen with the small online stub installer and not the full o0ffline setup.

Try the full setup for Windows from https://www.mozilla.orgfirefox/all/desktop-release/win64/

Since these files are compressed with 7zip you can extract the full setup and use it like it was a .zip version instead if you wanted to.
