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.

Hello,

Sorry I was unclear. You can deselect the element "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\41A66E7E5EE1" from the "Folders", and do a clean.

This element seems to be a FP caused by a generic detection.

Best regards,

Thse issuses are in the log every time I do a scan. Either AdwCleaner does not remove them, or I still have some residual malware which puts it back.

Hello,

This detection is triggered by the fake firefox profile generic, which is a FP in your case.. Please uncheck it before cleaning.

Can you share the whole logfile too?

Thanks,
