The error occurs because of a change in the extension version convention that was adopted from FRP 4.3.0 onwards. This issue can't be fixed; implement the workaround. Workaround: Remove the EEFF extension and check in the FRP extension. See the related article for details.

1217526	-	5.0.0	-	Issue: When you try to add a second location-based policy for the same cloud provider, the following error message is displayed: The following cloud sync folder was specified more than once. Although this behavior is expected, when you dismiss the error, the ePO page displays a constant "Loading..." message; the previous page is never displayed.
1153339	-	5.0.0	-	Issue: The Grant Keys Policy is visible briefly after you upgrade the extension from 5.0.0/5.0.1 to 5.0.2.

901597	-	4.3.0	Expected behavior	Issue: [ePO 5.x] When you use the ePO Policy Comparison feature, the FRP default local Key is shown as [Value is Blank]. Explanation: The field that shows the blank value is used to hold the unique identifier (GUID) of the key. But, no GUID is stored for a "Default Local Key" (DLK) and so the value displayed is blank.
893609	-	4.3.0	Expected behavior	Issue: FRP Key Management does not allow chevron characters (< and >) for FRP Key names.

1253553	-	5.0.8	5.1.0	Issue: As of macOS Mojave 10.14, the user can select between light and dark mode themes. Dark mode theme is not supported with File and Removable Media Protection. If dark node is selected when FRP is installed, it does not update the look of any FRP components. In dark mode, some FRP user Interface components do not render appropriately, and might make reading text on the components harder. There are no known functional issues when operating FRP with macOS in dark Mode.
1092691	-	4.3.0	5.1.0	Issue: OS X McAfee Removable Media Protection.app shows total size of the encrypted container on the removable media as 800 GB, even though container size might be more than 3 TB.

1229909	-	5.0.4	Expected behavior	Issue: Performance warning when installing FRP Mac on macOS High Sierra 10.13.4. The warning is seen when a 32-bit application is run on macOS 10.13.4.
1099814	KB86119	4.3.0	Expected behavior	Issue: [OS X McAfee Removable Media Protection.app] An offline browser crash can be induced when a device is forcefully ejected from the system when an application is opened from the removable media. When the Offline browser is run directly from the USB device and the user forcefully removes the USB, the operating system crashes the process. The reason is because it can't find the image for the process. Workaround: Quit the offline browser application before removing the USB device from the system.
1081083	-	5.0.0	Expected behavior	Issue: Enterprise Policy Management (EPM) Frameworks/McAfee Reporter process fails to open the offline browser app or the initialization notification prompt, if more than one user is logged on to the OS X desktop sessions. This limitation is with EPM/McAfee Reporter. Workaround: Open the offline browser application manually.
1084670	-	5.0.0	Expected behavior	Issue: FRP on Mac OS X systems generates ePO FRP events for all volumes and partitions available on the removable media when they are connected or removed from the system. Workaround: McAfee recommends that only one volume/partition is created on the Removable Media (USB) disk.
1084903	-	5.0.0	Expected behavior	Issue: Removable Media Device initialization on Hierarchical File System (HFS) or HFS+ file system formatted removable media is slower compared to FAT or EXFAT file system types. Workaround: Always format your removable media as FAT or EXFAT file system for faster initialization on OS X systems. Use of FAT or EXFAT format also provides device cross-platform compatibility between OS X and Windows.
1087695	-	5.0.0	Expected behavior	Issue: FRP Removable Media initialization notification for uninitialized devices does not appear if the device is unmounted and mounted back using the command line in OS X.
FRP-6630	-	5.1.1	-	Issue: Mac browser upgrade fails, if a 'block write' policy is in place for removable media. Workaround: Plug in the USB media to a system without a Block policy. This action allows FRP to upgrade the applicastion on the USB media successfully.
1256299	-	-	-	Issue: Ex-Fat formatted removable media initialized with FRP on Mac OSX, becomes unresponsive for a long time on Windows 10 systems, on initial use.
1084542	-	5.0.0	-	Issue: FRP on OS X systems does not generate the Removable Media response event with Event ID: 20501.
1023781	-	4.3.0	-	Issue: [OS X 10.10 only] Error messages observed intermittently when trying to edit files within the container. Workaround: The edited files can be copied from the temporary location to the container.
1016269	-	4.3.0	-	Issue: With the Allow large file support policy option disabled, the Mac offsite application is not automatically provisioned on a USB device, where: The container size < 4 GB) Was encrypted with a previous version When the device is inserted into a USB port on an FRP client The above scenario relates to the offsite access options for removable media devices. Workaround: Mac offsite application is provisioned when the USB device is initialized on an FRP client.
954694	-	4.3.0	-	Issue: For some applications such as Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, documents consist of multiple files. These multi-file documents are not saved back automatically to an encrypted container after opening via the Mac offsite application. Workaround: Multi-file documents can be manually copied out of the encrypted container, edited, and copied back into the encrypted container via the Mac offsite application.
944617	-	4.3.0	-	Issue: When dragging files into the encrypted container via the Mac offsite application, files can't be dropped into subfolders. Workaround: Navigate to the subfolder by double-clicking on it, and then copy files into the browser window.
