Firefox pref Found - what does this option do and why is it considered malicious?

Hi all.

I googled before asking but never found anything relevant... So AdwCleaner found 1 threat, this is what is says:

Firefox pref Found:  [E:\Profiles\Firefox\prefs.js] - "extensions.quick_start.sd.closeWindowWithLastTab_prev_state" -  false

Anyone knows what this config option does and why is it dangerous?

Thanks.

Bjr ^^

Merci pour la correction.

Sachant que ce n'était qu'un faux positif, il n'y avait pas de soucis à se faire.

Merci pour ton travail.

I had previously tried changing the defa...

No quite, Very quick to jump to conclusions there, almost like it's premeditated. It may just be a case of a False Positive, as I mentioned we use 3rd party API of a very well known AV.  Our scans and errors reported are checked regularly and thoughroughlly by all the leading AV's, the Scareware accusation is completely baseless.

In order to understand why Reimage Repair is flagging this speci...

Re: Infected LNK, False positive ?

Bsr ^^

Même chose pour moi.

Souci toujours présent.

Un false detect.

Laissons la chose se corriger avec un peu de patience.

En cas de doute ou de paranoia bloquons la possibilité d'agir du logiciel et l'acceès au net.

On n'utilise pas tous les jours le logiciel.
