Ask HN: Potential problems with this workaround to run Firefox?
The place I'm working at currently doesn't want me to run FF, I have been approved to run FF dozens of times although after approval sometimes their over-energetic security services try to come in and remove it.
I find that - on a mac - if I change the name of Firefox developer to be Test (or probably anything) in the applications folder and start it that it starts no problem (if process has name Firefox in it they have a popup that says no way not allowed)
Are there any potential technical problems with this - for example if I want to automate using Puppeteer I guess I have to say where the binary is... stuff like that, don't need to hear about the potential other problems as basically being able to run my preferred browser in this case is important enough to accept the consequences.
