So, have you filed a complaint yet? https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/report-antitrust-violation
I will now, thanks!
Remember when the meme was about Internet Explorer?
IE: What is my purpose?
Me: You download Chrome!
IE: Oh...my god!
Now Chrome isn't trusted. Even duck duck go is getting dubious. It seems there's almost nowhere to turn. Your data is their data, and if you dont like it, you can lump it.
Of course! With it's ad-blocking features, Firefox threatens the Chrome/Alphabet profits! This cannot be legal in a free (to make profits) country! /s
You have disabled Safe Browsing. That prevents files from being checked for malware, so all downloads are blocked by default (nothing to do with Firefox). As you noted, you can override the warning to download anyway, but it is an extra step to try to reduce the chance of someone accidentally running a malicious program.
Unsafe... for our margins!
While this could be malice it just as likely could be a complete error. I recently had to download a tool related to x11 on Firefox on windows and it also blocked the download as unsafe. Weirder still, it did this every time I started Firefox until I ended up ditching windows. No idea why.
my ass
Did you download it over http instead of https? I know firefox blocks http downloads by default now so I could see chrome doing the same
I'd be very surprised if mozilla.org didn't redirect http to https.

iirc there's a mac setting in systems prefs where you can allow apps to be downloaded from the app store or the app store and unverified developers. by default i believe they have it set to app store only. (system prefs > security & privacy > general)

(edit: unverified, in this case, means people who don't pay the apple developer subscription to release in the mac app store)

Safari and Firefox are good enough for me, especially since I started using the SSD 3 years ago.
And duckduckgo is good enough too instead of google.
And the free RSS reader NetNewsWire is good enough for me instead of the automated recommendation system of google.
The irony. I use Vivaldi Browser now and may consider switching to Fennec if Firefox ever implements tab stacks.
What are tab stacks?

I've noticed YouTube acting funny in Firefox, too. Full-screen no longer works on our Galaxy Tab A using Firefox with ublock. On my PC, YouTube seems to randomly switch audio devices to output to. Neither of those problems exist in Chrome or the YouTube app. They didn't exist in Firefox either until recently. Almost like it's intentional...
