Where did you get the installer from? I can't reproduce that problem on my machine.
Unless you mean the warning that applies to all executable files ("this file type could be dangerous") but that's just basic security that Firefox also (should) have.
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...
Firefox thinks Chrome is unsafe as well.
Well thats true though........
Enshittification is everywhere.
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!
Ublock also works better on firefox was using somebody else's computer who had ubo on chrome and a popup showed up on Kelley Blue Book but the same pop up didn't show up on ubo+firefox
I'm usually all aboard the fuck chrome train, but if I remember correctly it does that with all executable files.
This is a bit of an aside, but google releases a lot of security updates for Chrome. Sometimes 2-3 a month. Not sure if Firefox does the same since I only see the notices about Chrome. Not sure if it is a good thing that they fix problems quickly or a bad thing that there are so many problems.
What happens if you download a different executable file?
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 favorite is Edge trying to plead with you not to switch browsers
At work, we subscribe to Microsoft Defender so that we get a centralised view of potential security issues on people’s computers.
It’s always saying that there’s something wrong with Chrome and it never alerts about the same issues that are almost certainly a problem with Edge.
That’s mildly infuriating too.
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
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.
What's up with ducky?
Didn't happen to me on windows! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't know why you're getting downvoted; out of curiosity I just now tried it on Windows myself (Google Chrome 120.0.6099.130 Official Build 64-bit) by typing mozilla.org, clicking "Firefox downloads" at the top, and selecting the one for Windows. It sailed through almost instantly.
BUT - just because it worked for me personally on a completely different machine, OS, and installer doesn't mean OP is misrepresenting what happened to him; competitive app blocking has certainly happened with Edge. For all we know it's some Google A/B trial bullshit, no telling at this point.
Don't download programs off the internet. Use scoop.sh
sniff sniff is that a class action lawsuit alleging monopolistic business practices?!
