“macOS users running Cylance antivirus software may see their Firefox installation get corrupted due to being erroneously flagged as malware.”
I run Firefox Nightly on my work mac (with Cylance) and have been seeing this. Luckily IT have happily whitelisted it and reported back to Cylance, but still slightly weird that a major application would be flagged like this.

In my experience running internal penetration tests, it's been one of the few pieces of security software that's genuinely slowed me down and been a nuisance. That said, once you figure out its weak spots, it's as useless as all the others, but it doesn't surprise me it'd flag Firefox.
