duplicate of /questions/1549163 thread as it has a reply.

Today as I got to work (Windows 11 machine), I had a suspicious Firefox.exe file on my Desktop, it was not a shortcut, but exe file. I did a little investigation and research, and I noticed some difference from Program Files exe file and Firefox.exe on my Desktop:

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

Size: 695424 bytes SHA-256 hash: EEB242895F8ED48B43EAAA9ECA06C6DDE54425F8AE0E16200D2D46F839B9A540 File version: 145.0.0.327 Copyright: ©Firefox and Mozilla Developers Date modified: 16.11.2025 12:35 Original filename: firefox.exe Digital Signature: Mozilla Corporation

and Firefox.exe that appeared on Desktop

C:\Users\User\Desktop\Firefox.exe

Size: 389248 bytes SHA-256 hash: E8DA5735FE1B5E92BA3636B8D17B5BEC0EA521DB6A8B5A52177FF3E8B2F60710 File version: 145.0.0.327 Copyright: Licence: MPL 2 Date modified: 16.11.2025 12:35 Original filename: desktop-launcher.exe Digital Signature: Mozilla Corporation

I scanned both files in VirusTotal, and they both seems clean and legit

I uploaded both files to:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kALgQbfhIpHqs1pN6dmTdF71nm10LlD-/view?usp=sharing

Can somebody assure me that both files are OK, and can somebody explain to me why Firefox.exe appeared on my Desktop, and why is there difference between two files in size, Copyright info, and original filename ?
