My Malwarebytes anti malware program is blocking this executable because it thinks it Unwanted. I believe it is required by Firefox. If it is, how do I correct?

hi, judging by the filename this is no official mozilla installer and might come bundled with adware/malware. if you want to download and use firefox please only do so from the official location at mozilla's servers at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ thank you!

Firefox 43.0.4 is the current Release as Firefox 40.0 is old.

I agree that file name is suspicious as Mozilla does not put things like win10 in name.
