Firefox Nightly and Webroot Application Protection

Firefox Nightly, as the name implies, gets updated each night. Every day I need to reset its properties in Appication Protection under Identity Protection I guess because the files actually change and are seen as "new", even though they reside in the same folder and have the same names as the previous day's files.Unless firefox.exe and at least mozglue.dll are marked as "Allow", Nightly does not even start.
 
Is there any way to force webroot to whitelist it, or ignore, to prevent the need to reset settings each single day? if I remove Firefox Nightly from the Application Protection list, it gets re-added automatically.

The only way to get them white-listed is to Submit a Support Ticket also Webroot only supports the latest released versions so the nightly builds is there a reason why you use them? I have the same issues when I Beta Test other programs but I find contacting support not a big issue when I need to.
