Works like a charm in Firefox 42.0 on Mac OS X 10.11.2!

Very nice! A few layout problems (the green underlines are a bit high and the Tails title bar is not shown entirely), but most of the rest is very smooth.
Following the process, I found two issues:
- Using an unsupported browser first (Safari), I ended up at the download of the image. If the URL I’m supposed to copy in Firefox or Tor Browser would lead me back to that site, I imagine the process to be a bit smoother (for download and especially verification).
- The part “&& sync” does not work on Mac OS X (at least not for me), so maybe you should delete that.
