No I didn;t do any change @ob1lan . I can't see any xifs virus . — Christopher Marlowe, Jan 27 '17 at 13:06
You can't ... while it's telling you that it's including a DLL that is not part of Firefox and indeed points to that particular virus/malware? Did you actually follow the steps in either of the linked resources? — Seth, Jan 27 '17 at 13:35

This is due to a malware which is found in my PC . I have removed this malware in the following way :

1. I have started PC in safe mode . 
2 . I have removed these two folders : xif and xifs from C:/programData folder .

Then the xifs malware is removed .
