I reinstalled Librewolf via brew on my Mac and got this message: Warning: librewolf has been deprecated! It will be disabled on 2026-09-01.

Any idea what's happening there?

Would love to have another way to use Librewolf on Mac OS btw... it has to be reinstalled regularly with "brew reinstall librewolf --no-quarantine" because the installation "is broken". Very annoying, but I love Librewolf!

The way to keep it in homebrew is to either start signing librewolf builds or provide an alternative tap from Librewolf's repo. One of the catalysts for the deprecation is that installing unsigned apps seems to only work in Intel-based macs and Apple has decided macOS 26 will be the last release that will support this architecture.
