IronFox tried to perform DCL via memory (on boot unopened)

Mull didn't do this. I'm uninstalling.

I wish GOS had a setting that blocks startup boots unless authorized.

I don't review the code of everything I install because my threat model is so low and I don't have time, but this is strange App behavior, to just presume it's okay to secretly load at boot and do something and then unload at boot so people don't even know. Is it pinging something? I don't like this.

angela Mull didn't do this.

If I recall correctly it did. I'm pretty sure this is just a broad issue with Firefox in general, as I've just installed Firefox from the Play Store and it complains about both native code debugging and DCL via memory.

Issues inherited from Mull that still apply to IronFox - (contents adapted from the DivestOS website)
GrapheneOS users may encounter a crash with the error IronFox tried to perform DCL via memory. Unfortunately, Firefox is incompatible with this hardening feature, so it's not just limited to IronFox. You can fix this issue by navigating to IronFox's app info, scrolling down to the Exploit protection section, and setting Dynamic code loading via memory to Allowed. You can then navigate to Dynamic code loading via storage, and set that to Restricted - as this hardening feature is compatible with Firefox.

This is from the Gitlab of Ironfox https://gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox

Dumdum It's strange because I've installed Firefox stable, Nightly and Ironfox and I've never encounted this issue, I wonder what triggers it.

blusterpilgrim Are you saying you have the DCL settings to protect on by default and your system doesn't have this App briefly load at boot, give this error, and then stop the background process?

If this is unique to my pixel that would be scary.

Everything about this project looks good. I didn't see an issue tracker. Does gitlab use that? If this isn't a reproducible error then my system needs to be wiped and reinstalled.
