Description

When running a firefox based browser on MacOS, plug-container is said to be non-notarized which is fine, but the error warning up near constantly on a fresh install and regularly while using the browser. This seems to have been triggered by latest updates to MacOS or BlockBlock or both.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by reproducing the repeated notarization warning on macOS with a fresh Firefox-based browser install, then trace how BlockBlock handles plugin-container. Done means explaining and correcting the repeated false warning while preserving protection, and verifying normal browser use no longer produces it.
