Today I update MacOS Catalina and the same as the update some weeks ago Firefox is removed. I could not find the app anymore (the dock presented a big ? at the place where firefox was.) Last time I downloaded and re-installed Firefox, but today again all is gone after the automatic update of Catalina. On my iPad and iPhone there are no problems. Now I did remove all remaining Mozilla files on the Mac and are prepared to download again.


Why is the app removed? Or must I adjust the installation
