There are several test cases in the Firefox repository that test former vulnerabilities in Firefox and other vendored libraries and applications. This is possibly one of them. I'm actually surprised anti virus scanners don't flag files in the repository more than they do. It should be safe to disable anti-virus scanning on your Firefox source and object directories. You may also find that anti-virus scanners can contribute significant system overhead to common repository operations and building, slowing them down. If you need to create a directory before you can add an exclusion rule, do the following: 1) hg init mozilla-central 2) add exclusion rule 3) cd mozilla-central 4) Find a mozilla-central bundle from https://hg.cdn.mozilla.net/ 5) hg unbundle <url>
