When I download the R6 firmware 1.6.0 it is download with a .dmg extension and is not unzipping. I am on a Mac. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?

The firmware file should have a .fir extension.

I think that the download file is a compressed file, from which it has to be expanded to generate the required FIR file.

Yes, I don't understand why my download is not expanding to the FIR file when I double click on it. Any thoughts?
