Why would Malwarebytes shows a potential threat to the Firefox profile

Recently, I installed Malwarebytes (free version) and after analysis, it detects the Firefox profile.
What would be the threat of Firefox, I don't understand?

Any advice, suggestion or help will be appreciated.

Thank you
PS can be after validation that I'll be able to post screenshots.

    If you want just a report of chkdsk on your C partition select Start, run, type "cmd" without the quotes in the box and press ENTER. Type chkdsk, and then press the ENTER key and a report, stating, among other things, a summary of how disk space is used, is provided. If you want a report on a partition or one drive other than C, you need to go to this partition. To access F, where F is the required partition you type F: and press the ENTER key.

    Copies of the reports from a command prompt can be tricky. Right click and select mark. This allows to highlight the selected text, and then click on copy.

  • Why windows folder shows size much larger than the actual content

    When I check my Windows folder properties, it shows the size of the folder as 16 GB. But when I open that folder and select all the files (including the hiden files) and then check the properties it shows the total size is 6 GB. Why is there a difference of 10 GB when I check the size of the same folder from these two different places.

    Ashish519,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

    When you examine the properties of a file, it shows the size of everything in this file, including other folders and files in these folders and folders within folders and files in these folders. etc.  When you open a folder and use "Select all" then select properties and it, it goes only to show the size of all the files in this folder, no subfolders or files in subfolders.

    I hope that answers your question.
    Thank you

  • CS6: why package still show stains when I converted the process?

    Hi, I wonder why the 'Package' of CS6 function lists both the color and tones, even after I converted the tasks to deal with using the ink Manager? (This means my print job will appear on the printer as needing more that the normal 4 plates CMYK?) (Separations preview displays correctly only to the four-color).

    Gary Niemeier says:

    Using the package is part of my Quality Assurance process when I prepare general ledger for the PDF export projects. I didn't send a package. I use it to find and eliminate the unwanted colors. Can you think of any other way to quickly assess the presence of spot unwanted in a book containing chapters 20 or 30? I am happy to learn from him.

    You can use the preflight Panel to do this. Create a new profile and check the Spot color box, and then set the maximum number of plates of spot colors allowed to 0. That DOES not answer what the ink Manager is doing because it's looking at the generated plates, not the definitions of swatch.

  • If I delete the Firefox profiles folder in Appdata, which would remove all my Firefox personal information such as passwords and browser history?

    Sometimes I have to bring my laptop to the computer store, but I always make sure to remove all the programs like Firefox information, just in case.
    But I read that Firefox stores all your information in an Appdata folder.
    So I was wondering, if I had to move this folder to an external hard drive and remove it from the computer, would all my information from Firefox are deleted from the computer, or is it still going to save this information elsewhere?

    And if it removes all the information, if I move the folder that I save on an external hard drive on my computer, Firefox will have access to all this information again?

    Firefox will create a new profile folder if you try to open it without having a profile folder

    Yes, you could just copy the content and then delete the original content, leaving the record. Then overwrite the content again with the contents of your backup.

  • Why the firefox profile is messed up and does not restore the tabs when you replace the Windows shell with something like bbLean

    I use Windows 8.1 x 64 but I can replace the Explorer bblean shell and when I do that firefox has issues with the profile such that cancel last closed tab or not to restore the tabs at startup.
    I was able to use the replacement of shell of bblean for years in previous versions of Windows, but he always had a weird behavior with firefox. Of course, I am currently in contact with bbLean developers working on the problem, but I would also like to hear what may be the cause of this.
    Thank you in advance.

    @guigs2
    Thanks for responding but I solved it somehow.
    'Replace the shell' means that I have deliberately change value in HKCU NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell so it does not point explorer.exe but blackbox.exe.
    After the reset of my installation of windows and get rid of all programs, including firefox now I use firefox portable (not installation of vanilla from the original site) and found, I have no problem with profiles so far.

    Hi, jscher2000:

    Thanks for responding so soon!

    I double checked and do not have disabled the Visual Editor in the preferences of the user. With this clue on the head, I checked and uncked again to see no matter what chnges. None. I disconnected my user and logged on as another user (with privileges to edit, of course). No change, either.

    Yes, I rebooted without extensions or themes (manually disabled) and in safe mode. In both cases, I get the same: without Visual + HTML tab in post editor in Wordpress. I double checked and I have a Visual Editor in Opera and Chrome.

  • I would like to know how to remove the history of triangle upside

    I remember head in low triangle in the front bar location. Is this something that I can remove it?

    I tried to add a screenshot, but I couldn't figure out how to do this.

    This drop-marker has always been there and will show the items you have types or pasted into the address bar sorted by frecency (recently and frequently visited sites).
    It is possible to hide this icon if you want.

    Add code to the file userChrome.css below default @namespace.

    @namespace url("https://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
    
    .urlbar-history-dropmarker { display:none!important; }
    

    The file userChrome.css (UI) customization and userContent.css (Web sites) are located in the folder of chrome in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
    • Create the folder chrome (lowercase) in the .default < xxxxxxxx > profile folder if the folder does not exist
    • Use a text editor like Textedit on Mac to create a userChrome.css (new) file in the folder chrome (file name is case sensitive)
    • Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the Editor window
    • Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line

  • My computer fills up during the night with 50 GB of additional storage used. Why would he do that?

    I have a 500 GB hard drive. He "filled." 0 bytes left. I bought an extra external hard drive and have installed 250 GB on the new hard drive. I did NOT use the computer during the night. In the morning, the original hard drive was new. Why would he do that?

    I suggest you use a utility like the size of the folder to try to identify where the records are piling up.

    (for example I recently used it to track down a mystery space where it turns out the user contained a diagnostic trace activated accidentally in a safety program that created constant log files in a deeply nested subfolder.)

    Download it here.  With any freeware watch carefully for dishes bug prompts during installation.
