Description
We warn on every application download, which causes warning fatigue and doesn't help users make good decisions. We should track the reputation of download URLs and hashes.
See Security/Features/Application_Reputation_Design_Doc for implementation details.
Engineering
Most of the code lives in toolkit/components/downloads/ApplicationReputation.cpp.
QA
To turn on debugging output, export the following environment variable:
NSPR_LOG_MODULES="ApplicationReputation:5"
Documentation
- API Documentation available internally under NDA
- Announcement blog post
