Yep. I have (or had) 2 different ad-blockers (one is Plus) and they have been killed, as well.

All of my add-ons were disabled, due to "not being verified" and trying to reinstall them, or any for that matter, is impossible - "Download failed. Please check your connection.". I am not on here at this very moment because my Internet connection is dead, so I have absolutely no idea how nor why I logged in here and made this topic. :roll:
Firefox Disabled All My Extentions

All extensions disabled due to expiration of intermediate signing cert

All of my add-ons got disabled and they are all listed under legacy extensions now.

Add-on Policy and Process Updates

This happened to me too.
It is easily circumvented by changing "
xpinstall.signatures.required" to "
false" in the "
about:config" page. However, in newer Firefox versions, this override only works in the developer version https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/.
Thanks. I tried it and nope. I am reluctant to "update" and "upgrade" because these "fixes" make thing worse and break things...but no; this didn't work for me.

Had this flaw today with an odd solution: if you're AdBlocker you like fails, install another one. The one I used was disabled, installed a recently updated one, now I have 2 AdBlock running..
as well as some old addons from a previous installation that didn't originally carry over. how strange.
You must be lucky, lol.

When they want you to update to newest version for things like this, it almost always makes it work worse.
Finally! Someone else who realised this!
Works great now, I'm not going to agree to an update. Especially with cellphones, they make a new model phone then they send out an "update" to all their older model phones that breaks them so you're forced to get a new one. Been trying to get me to update it for almost 4 years now but it still works perfect and I know the update would break it.
I might have a rather old version of Firefox somewhere - I might see if I can find it and try it! However, support for those would be discontinued...

I doubt, very much, that it's as simple as that. Once-good Mozilla wouldn't be lazy and "forget" about updating a certificate for their browser before the current one expired, causing disruption to thousands or hundreds of thousands of add-ons and millions of users. I would say it smells fishy, but it smells more like a rat of the jew type. Consider the fight against the Internet which has been happening over the last so many months and years...

It is possible to use the dev version of firefox
They're not the final release, though, are they?
It gives detail about an automatic update that was done secretly through a backdoor by firefox which is supposed to give a temporary fix to this issue, through an update they refer to as Normandy. I am not an IT expert by any means, but I found this interesting. I checked the config of firefox dev mode and noticed this Normany app was automatically enabled and had been installed without any notice to me, even though I have the option enabled to let firefox ask me permission when installing any update.
I have no idea what it does, and disabling it didn't affect my browser at all, but the name is extremely suspicious and I don't think this is something trust worthy, as the name Normandy really is too specific and too suspect in my opinion, we all know what happened on Normandy after all...
Exactly. Well, there you go. Firefox has been getting shitter and shitter for a few years now. I dare suggest those who created the JoS App make a non-JoS-specific safe web browser! (I realise it would be quite a bit more technical, though.)

I do not think it is that simple. They also tell people to use their other data mining browsers. The fact they can remotely ruin your browser which is supposed to be an installed program that does not "communicate with Mozilla" is just plain suspicious.
It seems Soros didn't put his shekels there for nothing. Something else is going on.
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- this device may not cause harmful interference, and
- this device must accept any interference received
This might not be Fucking Customers Continuously directly, but those who own the FCC and who own those who own it are joined together, of course, with the "all-seeing eye" atop the pyramid.
I had no idea, until you said, about soros doing things like that. I do know that Opera uses a proxy or VPN built-in with it automatically, but this might be suspicious that all goes through the Opera servers which might or might not keep logs of everything...
