Your System Details show that you have the en-US language pack installed as the last extension in the list.

You probably installed this language pack because you have a Firefox version for your local (Swedish) language and want to have the user interface in English. Language pack appear under the Language tab on the about:addons page and not under extensions. This is likely a false positive although it is the first time that I know of that Microsoft Defender Antivirus reports such a issue. You can try to uninstall and reinstall this language pack.
