Screenshot 2020-11-15 at 21.04.34.png
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:82.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/82.0
Steps to reproduce:
Updated to nightly 2020-11-12-09-44-41.
Actual results:
A CylanceProtect secuirity av software detects a threat in some files and quarantines them, damaging the FF Nightly installation.
Expected results:
The commits linked with bug 1675740 are causing false positive flagging with antivirus software (Cylance protect).
The nightly version https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2020/11/2020-11-12-09-44-41-mozilla-central/firefox-84.0a1.en-US.mac.dmg is the latest that works. But the next nightly version - https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/2020/11/2020-11-13-04-14-59-mozilla-central/firefox-84.0a1.en-US.mac.dmg (as far as I can tell, it's the commits 84480987c9a7f832986085c71b0fd0a71955c9f2 and 74442fd27dfa81129105fe2de0ebea5dbdd85c85) is causing Cylance protect to quarantine several essential files in the bundle, basically corrupting Nightly and leaving it unupdateable without admin rights. I'll try to attach a screenshot with the event log.
Macos Mojave 10.14.6

This issue seems to be caused by Bug 1675740. I will set the component for this issue but Im not sure if the right component is Firefox Build system or maybe the External Software affecting Firefox, Please change the component if its not the correct one.
I do not have the correct environment to test this issue but maybe one of our developers might be able to reproduce it on their end.
