Surfing the web I just had a Mozilla Anti-virus virus try to lock on my computer, had to go to Task Manager to end the program. Ran Avast, Malwarebytes and CCleaner, nothing found, looks like the firewall kept it out.
Firefox does not launch some types of files that are downloaded into the cache, which prevents most viruses from propagating to your computer. For a virus to spread to your computer, it must be launched by opening or double-clicking on the file. Unless you have launched the file from inside your Firefox cache, you probably did not get infected with a virus. It is unlikely that Firefox has opened files of a suspicious type.
Additionally, anti-virus scanners may incorrectly identify cached files to have a pattern matching a virus. To anti-virus scanners, some files that are otherwise harmless may be mistaken for viruses.
