Firefox workaround

Excerpted from: "How do I whitelist Firefox installations from my Cryptolocker SRP GPO?"

I have the group policy to prevent crypto-locker and I needed to install FF on a single machine.

Here is the process:

Download "firefox setup stub.exe"

Move it somewhere other than downloads. I used c:\temp.

Open a command window (with admin privileges).

Type these commands: (c:\temp is used for this example)

set temp = c:\temp

set tmp = c:\temp

cd \temp

Run your firefox setup.

Worked like a charm for me.

This worked for me, too.

Now, I believe that if I set Firefox NOT to automatically update, it will not draw Cylance's ire.

Time will bell.
