I had to remove all instances of this on my mobile devices as my antivirus (ESET) flagged the app as containing a malware Trojan. What the heck? This only affects the latest update off the play store. Anyone else run into this and is there going to be a fix?

Hi

I have spoken to our developers and have run the Firefox for Android .apk files through https://www.virustotal.com/gui/ that has not detected any concerns.

Would it be possible for you to share a screenshot of the report you are seeing as a reply in this thread?
