Reporter, did you find this file in the directory C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch ? If you do, it's a Windows prefetch file, and it's created by the OS (not by Firefox). That is certainly not a danger, I don't know why Webroot Spy Sweeper reports it. And Firefox really doesn't contains a key logger. Some extension might do it, that's why you should only install extensions from trusted sources like https://addons.mozilla.org/ .

Bernard, can you please address the question in comment 1? Really though, Firefox doesn't ship with a keylogger, so this bug is probably WFM.
