Hi, that seems to be a rather old Trojan from 2012 that hit over 600, 000 macs. There was also a Apple Update that from 2012 that should have caught that before Clam A/V.

Did you download this from a site other than from a Official Mozilla site. If so should report the site as it may have been hacked and that payload was added to the download.
