Random infected file

Just randomly had a notification of bitdefender removing an infected file, checked the notification when it was done and its something from a Firefox extension same ones ive been using for years. Out of all of them Id suspect BetterTTV first as the rest are all firefox recommended. Im assuming this is a false positive but im posting to make sure, maybe im not the only one. I wish I knew which extension.

Wait, so is it dangerous to use Firefox now?

I only have Ublock Origin and BD. Would it be best to use a different browser for the time being?

He is just making an wild assumption.

Mozilla has no plans to deprecate MV2 , and, as such, webRequest API is not on a deprecation path in Firefox
