Malwarebytes won't let me open Firefox

[Mura]

— Brief description of the issue
I've recently installed Malwarebytes and I have a problem, whenever I try to open Firefox Malwarebytes says "an exploit has been automatically blocked."

— Screenshot of the issue

— If the system crashed, please include the BSOD error message
The system hasn't crashed.

— Operating system details
Windows 10 Pro / 64-bit / 10.0 (Build 14393)

— Details on how you encountered the bug and any steps that can be taken to reproduce it
I just try to open Firefox and Malwarebytes blocks it, as simple as that,

— Do you get the same result more than once if you follow the same steps?
Yes.

— A copy of the contents of C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\MBAMService\logs in a ZIP file (attach to post)
I'll edit the post with it, please wait.

Hi, sorry for the double-post but I'm unable to edit the first one. I have attached the files in "C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\MBAMService\logs" to this post.

It looks like the block is happening because of MacType on your machine. I am unable to replicate on my local machine, so perhaps your MacType software is out of date? Can you see if there's an update available for you for that software?

I have MacType updated to its latest version (1.16.0904)

Strange that I can't reproduce this with the same outcome. Can you verify that Firefox is up to date as well, I'm showing the latest is 51.0.1 and I'm using 32-bit. You can view this by going to Help -> About Firefox

I have the same version as you.

The weird thing is that I have no problems if I open Firefox through Malwarebytes. Like, for example, I try to open Firefox normally through my desktop and Malwarebytes blocks it, but if I go to the "Reports" section of Malwarebytes and I click on "More information," Firefox opens this page without any problem at all and I can continue using the browser just fine.

Would you mind uninstalling MacType just to see if that makes a difference?

With MacType uninstalled everything works just fine, I'd rather not have to stop using it though because I hate the way Windows handles fonts and with MacType everything looks so much better.

Can you try re-installing MacType and see if the issue is still there?

Yeah, same problem. Why does this happen though? I've never heard of MacType being malicious or something like that.
