Some customers are reporting that the Microsoft Edge browser is flagging the Firefox Nightly installer as potential malware, and try to dam its set up.
The challenge is because of Microsoft’s SmartScreen know-how being suspicious of the software program and has occurred earlier than for the Google Chrome installer prior to now.
What is uncommon nevertheless is that the software program is signed by Mozilla, which ought to ideally imply that it must be trusted, however the chances are the amount of downloads for the Firefox Nightly is so small that the software program is just not recognizing it as a generally used software.
The challenge has been reported on Reddit [1] [2] by a lot of customers, for each the nightly and the common model, although it seems to have been resolved, as we can’t replicate it.
In any occasion, we suspect that anybody who chooses to obtain Firefox may even be capable to bypass any block by Edge. Are any of our readers affected? Let us know under.
