1843068 - Block malicious DLLs (Quoteex?) in the mozglue fallback blocklist

Status: ASSIGNED

(External Software Affecting Firefox :: Other, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Yannis Juglaret [:yannis]]

Note for users: If you experience this crash, it is likely because you have malware installed.

In bug 1841751, we have blocked malicious DLLs to avoid a startup crash, with success. The code for the block was added in the launcher process blocklist, so users for whom the launcher process fails to start do not benefit from the patch and they still crash. We could port the patch to the fallback mozglue blocklist to fix the crash for the remaining users.
