Open issues/risks

`

Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

Bug 662819.

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.

2. Users & use cases

Downloading popular, legitimate applications: warnings should become less severe and less redundant.

Downloading known malware or unknown applications: warnings should become more severe and clearer about the origin of the download. Perhaps more similar to the UI for installing Firefox addons (since the result is equivalent).

3. Dependencies

`

4. Requirements

  • Preserve privacy as much as possible. This should only apply to downloaded applications, not documents. The URL should not be sent to Mozilla if the download is declined. Users should have the option to use this feature without contributing data to it.

Non-goals

  • Virus scanning.
  • Offering to sandbox untrusted native applications.
  • Preventing downgrade attacks.
  • Forcing application download sites to use https.
  • Foist AMO-style user reviews upon application download sites.
