It is a low-level threat and not having a specific knowledge of what it specifically does I can't come to conclusions.

Thank you both so much for the replies. I'm just wondering how come malwarebytes didnt detect the malware with web protection and with all the scans.

NO!
Viruses are a specific type of malware that self replicates. Or, in other words, is able to autonomously spread.
This is a trojan. As noted in the detection name JS:ScriptIP-inf [Trj] - Trj stands for trojan.
Viruses and trojans are a sub-type of malware like Ford and Subaru are sub-types of automobiles.
Ok. What I mean to ask is, is it a positive threat? should I change my passwords and credit cards? Personal information may be stolen?

Yes, Gibes as in a "mocking taunt" being a suspected malicious script file from a web browsing session indicative of a web site script and coincides with it being found in a Firefox cache.
Malwarebytes is not an anti virus application. It is an anti malware application as it is incapable of handling file infecting viruses.
Malwarebytes happily coexists with AVG. Albeit, there may be some slight tweaks to make them even more cohabitable.
so is it a virus? if so, should I change my passwords and credit cards? Personal information may be stolen?

Is AVG premium with Malwarebytes Pemium even a good combo? AVG employee said "Firstly, it is not advisable to have two antivirus software in your computer as it may end in conflict, sometimes no protection at all."
Is that true? If so which one should I keep?

Virus Total indicates that this is a GZip'd file which gibes with it being a web site artifact script.
Gibes? The script was found in firefox which I have installed several months ago.

I keep trying to post the results but the spam filter won't let me post anything.

No. I am stating that Malwarebytes will not use signature based detection on scripted malware. Thus MBAM will not "detect" scripted malware.
I am stating that Malwarebytes' anti exploit module will block a script's malicious actions.
I can't tell you if it is a False Positive nor if it is warranted to change passwords solely on the basis that AVG detected the "trojan" JS:ScriptIP-inf [Trj] ( it is not a virus as you stated ). If you had MBAM installed, it would have blocked malicious activity if the script was attempted to be executed.
If you want to to see if the file AVG detected as JS:ScriptIP-inf [Trj] is a False Positive or not, submit the file to Virus Total.
Thank you for replying.
So if the script was not executed I should be fine?
How can I submit a file to Virus total that is in quarantine?

I'm sorry, I'm not sure if I fully understand. Are you saying that this script is not malicious? Is this a false positive? Should I change all my passwords as recommended by avg support?
AVG SUPPORT's Reply
"I'd request to click 'Send for analysis' from AVG quarantine to submit the file for analysis.
Click this link https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=Use-AVG-Quarantine on how to submit a quarantined file for analysis.
It looks like a browser hijacker which is a form of unwanted software that modifies a web browser's settings without a user's permission, to inject unwanted advertising into the user's browser. A browser hijacker may replace the existing home page, error page, or search engine with its own.As a precautionary measure, I'd recommend you to change the passwords and delete saved card numbers from any websites.
It is unlikely that your personal information is stolen" -
Hello
I have Malwarebytes premium and AVG premium running. I have a scheduled daily full scan on both with rootkits and i also have all protections on by malwarebytes. I noticed that my AVG was not performing it's daily scans. I used the repair tool on AVG to try to remedy the problem. After using it and scanning it found a virus JS:ScriptIP-inf [Trj]. I'm very worried that all my daily scans with malwarebytes (using the best and slowest options, the scan takes about 7 hours to complete sometimes) did not find this virus.
My updates are always current
Can someone please tell me what is going on?

With all the security software I have on my pc, I don't know what else to do to ensure that I do not get malware or viruses. I'll reinstall windows and start over just to be sure. Is there anything else i can do to be sure that I dont get threats like this again. I also don't understand how both MB and AVG didnt catch this sooner. I have uninstalled firefox months ago, even then I barely used it.
