I don't know why or how to fix, just wanted to inform, that Firefox flaggs the installer as a virus or maleware, if you download the exe.

How to reproduce: Download the 11.0 installer for Windows using the newest Firefox version (89.0.2, 64bit)

Thanks for reporting, but i think this is a duplicate of #621
Are you sure that it's Firefox and not windows itself?

We can't do much about this except for telling antivirus vendors that it's a false positive, see issue #181

It really does seem like it's Firefox that labels it as virus.
