[Steps to reproduce]:

1. To a admin user install Firefox Nightly, you can use this link: http://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2016/04/2016-04-19-10-56-54-oak/firefox-48.0a1.en-US.mac.dmg

A warning message is displayed every time when you want to start the browser: "“Nightly” is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?"

[Additional notes]:
I have checked the console and I have this message: "06/05/16 15:05:34,469 CoreServicesUIAgent[1692]: Error: qtn_file_apply_to_path error: Permission denied"

Comment 1

This is most likely due to the fact that the standard user account doesn't have permission to remove the quarantine bit on the application. Between step 1 and 2, could you add a step for the admin user to launch Firefox and click through the "“Nightly” is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?" dialog? The standard user should then be able to launch Firefox without being prompted anymore. If this is the case, the behavior is expected and controlled by the OS.

I added the step that you suggested in comment 1 and I couldn't reproduce the issue. I have tested on Mac OS 10.10, 10.11, 10.9. I will mark this as Resolved: invalid.
