Comment on Show HN: Fast Transition from Firefox to Librewolf

Comments

Librewolf isn't going to be practical for macOS users. It isn't signed appropriately and will not run unless you xattr -c on the app package. That's unfortunate. I'm not sure if an update will re-establish the macOS quarantine flags or not.

It looks like it's available on homebrew, so that may be a good workaround.

I installed it via brew only to find it wasn't signed. I'm going to assume that the binary in the dmg isn't signed, either.

for technical users yes. for grandma, absolutely not

Why is that so? Any idea?

Librewolf isn't signing the binary shipped via brew.
