I did a virus scan on my Fire TV with Virustotal and it shows that Firefox has Trojan.Script.Generic1 per Jiangmin. How can I get rid of this? I thought Firefox would block malware.

It's pretty common that a Firefox installer matches a "generic" or "heuristic" detection by one of those very many scan engines on VirusTotal, and when you go try to figure out what that means, you can't get any useful explanation.

If you don't trust the dozens of other scan engines that give the installer a clean bill of health, then I guess don't install it.
