I upgraded to 58.0 on Win10, but I'm getting an exploit report from Malwarebytes?

Apparently this is discussed in Bug 1418594.

I have turned off the Exploit detection in Malwarebytes as a TEMPORARY solution. Hope to hear of a fix/repair/upgrade from 58.0 to this problem soon.

It may not necessarily be a issue with Firefox 58.0. Also the “RET ROP Gadget detection” in Malwarebytes is not checked by default.

Turning off a security feature, even if it is one that is not ON by default, is a serious problem in my book. The previous version of Firefox didn't have the problem, as I have had that feature of Malwarebytes turned on for a good while. So what did you programmers change that "broke" it?
