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"
