Firefox Extensions Disabled due to Intermediate Signing Certificate Expiry on 4th May 2019

It is likely that you will be hit by this issue if you use Firefox. All extensions get disabled and it pretty much makes Firefox unusable (and unsafe).

Thank you. I wondered wth happened.
I wasted a fair bit of time trying to figure out what was going on as well, suspecting something on my end. It's still early and it has just started to happen (effective 4th May 2019 UTC). Before others sink their time into debugging this, I figured it's worth at least putting out a note there - collectively it'll be a lot of time saved.
I still have no clue on when this is likely to be fixed and how painful it is for them to get it done.
It is going to be a high frustration day for the Firefox team.
Another bug link: https://github.com/mozilla/addons/issues/978
Already there's a bunch of dupes that are being referenced in the Bugzilla link as well.
look at /r/firefox on reddit more than 8000 people online
Just got back from fixing this.
xpinstall.signatures.required=False
(edit: I did this just for my casual browsing FF profile. The one with all my control panel logins are still awaiting official fix)
So that's why my firefox shows problem with the addons. Thanks for the news.
Rest is peace Firefox, chrome won.
Firefox is now the new Chrome, premium.
Don't please. Already convenient with its container feature

Maybe not fair and square, though.
Nothing that succedds nowdays is fair. And we're talking about Google now, nr #1 company in the world, if not yet.
They did the same to Internet Explorer, so yea no big surprise.
"Don't be evil"
Perhaps, but sabotage doesn't mean the alternative is truly better. Keeping alternatives around is healthy, for the rest of us.
pro-tip: dont close firefox, keep 100+ tabs open.
Monopol is never a good thing. If Chrome becomes Monopol, we're funked. And there's nothing we can do about it if that happens.
temporary fix here..

It's not gonna become monopol. There will always be niche browsers, open source derivates etc.. just not as comfortable but far enough distanced from Google so that you can feel at ease..if Google bothers you that is.
Chrome and Google at large are as big and as long a monopoly as much people are choosing them over smaller, less greedy, less convenient competition.
If Google wins, it's because people asked them to.
66.0.4 release candidate is available which supposedly fixes it

why?

Just enable > Allow Firefox to install and run studies -quick fix until the patch filters through.
Or install the XPI file from this link.
Does not matter, running firefox disabled ublock origins and the ad's appeared.
Its already to late.
I decided to step away from the computer for 6hrs and sleep for 8hrs after that.
Thank you Mozilla.
Re-enabled studies and my Treestyle Tabs are back now.
I had a Pihole VPN as a fallback for events like this. I did not see more than a couple of ads.
I didn't actually have any issues with extensions in Firefox... Did I just get lucky and somehow avoid the problem?
I'm glad I'm not the only person that occasionally forgets to renew certificates
I forgot to rotate Yarn's GPG key last year, and stupidly had it set to expire on 1st January: https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/6865… At least I have alerting for it now.
Did anyone else have the lovely experiance of browsing without Ublock origin?
Well, when I see the ad's, some of them look like, they have been made on fiver.
Dang it, thanks for the work around, its time to enable it again.
Fixed on arch based, can update with -Syyuu param
windows 10 - Latest Firefox update fixed this for me
It was mind boggling to me to see how many fucking ads and popups that news websites put on their pages.
