I needed to reinstall Firefox on this computer, so I started up Chrome to download the latest version and it blocked the download as unsafe! I had to manually tell it to download anyway.

Fuck Chrome. I’m glad I only used it to download one file and went back to Firefox.

    Actually, the second time I did it on a Macbook. A separate machine. However, they are both Intel Macs, so they are older and running an older OS (Monterey). Could that be it?

      So far the browsers all seem to be universal apps, and I’d bet they stay that for many years.

      My rule of thumb is that an issue isn’t an issue until it affects at least 10% of the fleet. Before then, it’s a fluke and not worth investigating.

      I think you had a fluke. Seems like it’s worked for you since then.

      For future reference, the correct way to install Firefox on a Mac is brew install --cask firefox, not downloading it manually like some troglodyte.
