Is this an actual installer file from Mozilla, or is it malware, and how should I deal with it? Thanks

Hi pixelhalo, "Igor Pavlov" is the person that create 7zip which is a tool that we use to generate the installers.

I don't know why it has changed from "Mozilla", I've filed a bug to find out and track any fixes.

Note that if you right-click on the executable, and select "Digital Signatures" you should see that it is signed by the Mozilla Corporation.

Also, we do make the SHA sums available for each release, should you want to compare those with the executable:
