Every time i try and install firefox from the mosilla website i get flagged from webroot that it contains mal ware is this normal
Are you sure you're getting it from the Mozilla website?  Typically when we flag browser downloads it is because someone is getting it from a site that bundles malware around the browser.  What link are you using for your download?  This is the correct one:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
Hello

Download:

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/35.0/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2035.0.exe

(Firefox 35.0 is now available -  https://community.webroot.com/t5/Security-Industry-News/Mozilla-Firefox-35-0-released/m-p/181547#M11689)

 

This file is safe

Webroot scan log:

[g] d:downloadsfirefox setup 35.0.exe [MD5: DB11B0851F66418C3850D8B3FF3574EA] [Flags: 08001000.0]

Hello and Welcome to the Webroot Community!

 

I like this link as we don't know the native language of members so they can download what they require: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

 

And @ I never use FTP to download as it's not as secure so it's best not to post them IMO.

 

Thanks,

 

Daniel 😉
Good point on the language - thanks for adding that @ !
