daledoc1 Posted May 4, 2014 ID:826904 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Hi, Until Pedro and the gurus stop by, perhaps this might get you started: https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=143429 ?It's not specific for Waterfox, but it might help?

serta Posted May 4, 2014 ID:826938 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Hi, I think it's as simple as renaming waterfox.exe to Firefox.exe, can't find the post but I think that's the work around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

serta Posted May 4, 2014 ID:826952 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Just to add, See post #379 https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/malwarebytes-anti-exploit.354641/page-16 So renaming may not work. YMMV Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YMMVI don't believe renaming the program will work, it was renaming something tho.. I couldn't dig anything out of that link but I just know it's there somewhere, hopefully I'll find or remember it.. thanks.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff pbust Posted May 4, 2014 Staff ID:826992 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Renaming waterfox.exe to firefox.exe should do the trick. Of course you'll also have to rename and/or re-create your shortcuts to point to the renamed firefox.exe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember that coming up when testing MBAE some time ago but just couldn't get it straightened out in my old head. lol Thank you so much. I just switched to waterfox when FF came out with v29 it's as buggy as an outhouse and I don't care to fight with it. Besides waterfox v28 is a slight bit faster and haven't had any crashes, as of yet. Thanks again,oldgeek Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
