Just checked a bunch of modern browsers on virustotal and similar sites and 99% had viruses or other malicious elements. Some versions for linux didn't.

Jaxon Fisher
Wow
Carson Campbell
Hunter Myers
Interesting bait thread
Bentley Sanchez
And source?
Gabriel Perry
Ok. Guess they could be false positives, maybe not all of them
Andrew Morris
Post the VirusTotal links or GTFO.

>allow_execstack (on , off) Allow unconfined executables to make their stack executable. This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable should be reported in bugzilla"

OP is quite correct, referring to portable apps

When you download software from official distribution repos you (usually) don't have this problem.
Ian Peterson
DO NOT CLICK
IS VIRUS
Jose Flores
Isn't it official? mozilla.org
Also tried offline 32 win installs-same. But linux 64 version doesn't show that
Daniel Russell
Can confirm shortly after clicking that link my computer started to
Brandon Rogers
To melt? That site virustotal is owned by google
Thomas Green
Recommend me a CIA nigger-free browser, please.

Qutebrowser is pretty good. No GlowWare as far as I can tell. Minimal interface written in python on top of QTWebEngine.

hey op, just to be clear, since you obviously aren't
you did test the archives from mozilla's FTP right
i bet you didn't [test anything]
Cameron Baker
>VIRUS
Wyrus
Zachary Green
Nope, What's the link?
Aaron Hall
Why should everyone know mozilla's ftp archives? I tested windows versions, just out of curiosity.
Gavin Perez

Christopher Bennett
and where did you get them?
Tyler Campbell
firefox esr
Managed to not get fingerprinted with some addons, panopticlick
I'd say icecat but you just draw attention so just chrome with only ublock, HTTPS everywhere and no script.

>for Linux
GNU or Android?

I checked these out and as expected, they both have Trojans in them
Angel Roberts
Detections by Antiy-AVL and Cylance. Antiy lists it as Win32.Tiggre
I somehow doubt the accuracy of these results.
Henry Price
Yeah antivirus scanners are actually malware themselves in most cases.
Adam Gomez
Wat... Positive on ESR? Quite certain it's the wrapper, try this link instead 64bit US
mozilla.org
Virustotal is the best, the scan isn't from the AV but from detection signatures
Jose Gomez
Virustotal provides interesting results. Not always useful results but interesting, I guess if you were publishing software you'd have the option of bribing antivirus software to whitelist your shit as they in tern bribe google to keep them on the list with garbage detections.

Virustotal is owned by google, maybe it's a way for them to control their competirors- detecting false positives in other browsers. Google also once stopped showing protonmail in results and almost shut them down.
Logan Hill
wtf is OP going on about?
you sound completely insane
Hunter Smith
>False positives are a thing: the thread
Matthew Jones
virustotal is just a blanket term, not to control competitors you'd have labs unheard of from different angles sources and countries. Not sure why you're talking about protonmail since they recently had a fallout with nordvpn and trainer.
Interesting point of view but I doubt any bribery could take place with pooling of intelligence
No smoke without fire, false positives are technically positive until proven false and usually independent researchers will autist them out and stand ground
