If anyone is getting "LibreWolf is damaged and should be deleted" messages on your macOS machine, making it impossible to launch, run this command:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/LibreWolf.appThis is because LibreWolf isn't notarized right now; this command dequarantines it and makes it executable.

@lauseta please don't recommend that people do this. Apple's signing system is imperfect but this is also an invitation for librewolf's update mechanism to get compromised to sneak in malware. If librewolf cannot afford the $100/year apple tax to get a signing cert, it is not a big enough project to provide something as security-critical as a web browser.
