Solution

1) Please get acquainted with the article https://support.kaspersky.com/kis20mac/error/15031#block1;

2) If the article above did not help, try to remove the FireFox user's profiles directory via Terminal:

rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles

Removal of the Firefox profiles deletes the user's data stored in the browser, like saved logins and passwords, visited websites and other. Make backup if needed.

Then, reboot the host and check the issue reproduction.
