Should Firefox.exe.sig be running at the same time that Firefox.exe is running? Windows Task Manager showed me they were running separately at the same time. I had not noticed this happening before. What is Firefox.exe.sig?

Windows 7 32-bit Firefox Quantum 61.0.1

Hi, it is either a changed Firefox.exe file that was or thought was a virus by your A/V or it is part of a nightly build.

Did you recently do some changes, or have nightly installed or a beta ?

Please search for it and upload it to Virustotal.com difficult for me to say.
