Development snapshot — macOS Apple Silicon only

This is Forge, a development fork of Mozilla Firefox maintained by RAZEX0LOL.
It is not an official Mozilla release and is not production-ready.

Download

  • Forge-development-20261028-macos-arm64.dmg — macOS arm64 / Apple Silicon only.
  • SHA256SUMS — checksums for the image and source metadata.
  • SOURCE.json — source commit, upstream/l10n pins and build limitations.

The app is ad-hoc signed, not Developer ID signed or notarized. macOS may block
it. Do not disable Gatekeeper, strip quarantine or weaken signature checks.
There is no supported automatic security-update service. Do not use this
snapshot as a secure replacement for an up-to-date browser.

This is a Mozilla artifact development build with Forge integration, not a
fully independent Gecko build. The complete Firefox fork history, Forge source
and upstream license notices are retained in this repository.

Checked locally

  • 285 browser integration checks and 123 source tests.
  • Ten additional restarts with 200 temporary tabs.
  • Eight in-process Gecko macOS accessibility-bridge checks (not manual VoiceOver).
  • Bundle signature, disk image integrity and public-source/package resource parity.
  • Limited HTTP/DNS/socket observations, not full packet capture.

GitHub's Forge source-check workflow also passed. These results do not validate
other platforms, long-duration authenticated workflows or system dialogs.

Not included

There are no Windows, Linux, Intel macOS, Android or iOS builds in this release.
Android and iOS require separate mobile implementation and testing. They are
planned platforms, not available apps. No placeholder or relabeled upstream
installers are provided.

Mozilla and third-party licenses remain applicable; the image includes the
generated upstream license notices. Forge is not endorsed by Mozilla.
