The hybrid analysis here https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/19749847da2a7145770c71910a90e870724d39b2bdb4efbb7bedd917f7a05926?environmentId=100

says that the installer contains "The analysis extracted a file that was identified as malicious details 1/10 Antivirus vendors marked dropped file "plugin-container.exe" as malicious (classified as "Trojan.Heur" with 10% detection rate) 1/10 Antivirus vendors marked dropped file "System.dll" as malicious (classified as "Adware.Domage.Neobar.BF" with 10% detection rate)"

I really don't trust the results of that site but I am wondering why it says that. Other languages installers and they have different results.

Did you get the full installer from Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link}

I don't think plugin-container.exe is malicious. When I cross-check its sha256 hash over here:

https://metadefender.opswat.com/results#!/file/ed1b108e69144bd82e5d80b642300fe4bef14d15ebf82ac6464bd471ea2c2d99/hash/overview

It has one "Heur[istic]" detection and 36 clean.

System.dll is associated with "maintenanceservice_installer.exe". When I cross-check its sha256 hash over here:

https://metadefender.opswat.com/results#!/file/bd046e6497b304e4ea4ab102cab2b1f94ce09bde0eebba4c59942a732679e4eb/hash/overview

It has 1 "Adware" detection and 36 clean.

I'm not worried enough to look into it further.

I know, and I really wonder why they say that about firefox which is free and safe.

Is Hybrid analysis a Mozilla program? If the installer is from the Mozilla site I would be wary of other tester software saying something that isn't there as well giving you a false positive and it by itself could be the culprit as well.
