Rollup

Where do you see the problem?

• In the browser
• In the terminal

Describe the bug

When developing for Firefox and Safari I use vite build --watch
The initial build works, but once you make a change and save, it breaks in terminal.

[crx:content-scripts] Plugin error - Unable to get file name for unknown file "CjI6$MfX".

Reproduction

• everything vanilla
• package.json

"scripts": {
    "dev": "vite build --watch",
},

• content.ts (content script or background doesn't matter).

import foo from './foo?script'

run once, then edit a file and save.
