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.

      No, although I did use it for work, which is the only reason Chrome is on the computer. But the sysadmin didn’t touch it.

        They don’t need to touch it. If you login using your company’s google account, they automatically has access via their MDM console.

        If you have a good functioning IT dept, that laptop was fully configured to their specifications long before you got a hold of it and it certainly happens automatically.

          I didn’t get it from work. It’s my personal machine. I just used it when I had a hybrid schedule. But I don’t log in with that account because it doesn’t exist anymore since I don’t work there anymore.

            Gotcha

            Perhaps the download was corrupted? Like maybe the checksum didn’t match. Did it happen a second time or after you did a force refresh?

              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.
