hello jukebox, no defender is a totally separate program and it won't be impacted by firefox - they will just run fine next to each other.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
