Installing the LibreWolf browser on macOS
Tried installing the LibreWolf web browser on my macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 and ran into some issues where the app was not at all opening. Whenever I clicked open the app, it would show me a dialog saying the following with two options Done and Move to Trash:
Apple could not verify "LibreWolf.app" is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.
I searched about it and found this Reddit thread where the issue was being discussed. It turns out, after the macOS Sequoia 15.1 update, it stopped working for many users. One of the top comments in the thread offered a workaround as well, which worked for many users.
However, I did run any of the suggested commands and still got it working. When I first click on the app, it showed me the said dialog and I selected the Done option. After that I went to System Settings > Privacy & Security and clicked the Open Anyway (at the bottom it was being shown in front of the LibreWolf app). It asked me for the password and started working flawlessly from the next time.
I am not sure if I will be using this as my main browser yet or not, but these days I am trying different stuff as I did the same with the Ungoogled Chromium browser a few days ago.
