Norton antivirus prompts user to either allow or cancel running the application "mozilla-runtime", when launching Firefox.
This was already happening with the updater.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.3a1pre) Gecko/20100128 Minefield/3.7a1pre

Norton Internet Security 17.5.0.127
On the good side, it saves your option to run, so it only asks once ;). 
I'd imagine this happens with other security products?
