I purchased Mozilla VPN, and tried to install on MacOs.

Installation displayed "Install failed: The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

Sadly, it is not easy to cancel the payment.

Here is the log from the installer
