I went to the ftp site and could only find the list of SHA512 checksums of the current Firefox releases. I remember there used to be a list of SHA-1 checksums. Does anyone know how to check SHA512 hash on a Mac? Thanks.

I believe shasum is installed by default, so you can get the 512 result via:

shasum -a 512 /path/to/file
