Chosen solution

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.

Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

Did you install Firefox and actually use it? That warning about running something downloaded from the Internet should disappear permanently after you okay opening the application the first time.
