Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:50.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/50.0
Build ID: 20161104212021

Steps to reproduce:

Installed and started up both FIrefox 51 and 51.01



Actual results:

A Norton Antivirus program 'conathst.exe' is recursively loaded.
There can be 60+ instances of this program running in the Task Manager by the time I manage to shut Firefox down.
The only way then to clear the computer memory is to shutdown and restart.



Expected results:

Normal Firefox operations.
My last stable (and perfect Firefox operations) was Ver. 50 which I have reinstalled again. Ver 51 and Ver 51.01 is unusable on my computer.
OS Windows XP SP3 Professional Edition.
