The AutoConfig files are dropped directly into the Firefox.app bundle itself. This has a bad interaction with macOS app integrity protection. It results in a "Firefox.app is damaged" message and prompts for iTerm2 to be granted permission to modify apps.

Workaround is as follows:

sudo ./combootcha --homebrew --set-default-browser
brew reinstall firefox
# Open Firefox once
sudo ./combootcha

This works around key parts of Combootcha, so the approach is clearly flawed in some way. It's unclear how to best address it, though. AutoConfig is part of Firefox proper and is the correct way to do this.

Let's do some research to see if anyone else has run into the problem.
