Hi, Avast Prob saw it as a False/Positive. Where did you download it from a mozilla.org or firefox.com all other except a few are bogus and it could very well be. If not downloaded from a official site run some scans :
Note if get errors opening pages it will be Avast and you will need to go to their forum for a work around. Especially the below message :

It is good. So just a false/positive I would say.
It is never a problem to run those 2 programs as they look for things differently than a regular A/V program does.
what's the exact detection info (filename/threat name) that avast is giving?
Note that some AV software sees the small Firefox stub installer as containing a virus. The solution is usually to download and save the full Firefox installer.
