Bloody Firefox

[mers]

Have gotten pretty well fed up with Firefox over the last year or so , kind of prefered it over others but liitle glitches here and there have got me frustrated. Now this evening all of a sudden all my Add-ons were wiped out, Adblock , Ghostery , IDM, Alldebrid. It won't even let me connect to my main everyday forum. Quickly loaded Opera as a side browser and seems my forum is blocked in that as well now. Can someone please shoot the staff at Firefox. Checked on Google and seems others have suffered the same problem with Firefox , thought things are supposed to be improved not screwed up.

There seems to be an issue with Firefox certificate servers, I've had the same issue with Firefox on android and Win 7

Write about:config in your address bar, confirm you know what you are doing and set xpinstall.signatures.required to false. Restart browser and all you extension are back

Don't do the above. There's already a hotfix out: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2019...ns-in-firefox/

To provide this fix on short notice, we are using the Studies system. This system is enabled by default, and no action is needed unless Studies have been disabled. Firefox users can check if they have Studies enabled by going to:

Firefox Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Allow Firefox to install and run studies (scroll down to find the setting)

It does appear this is now fixed in 66.0.4 - I briefely had the same problem, my addons are all back without having to do anything.

My advice, install the ESR release of Firefox, this means it's ready for Business, and secondly you don't have an annoying update every other week. It's aimed at organisations where updating en mass and frequently is problematic.

You only get an update every 10th version so 50, 60, 70 etc... (at least at it's current rate)

I highly recommend doing the same for all browsers that offer it. I know Chrome offers this as well:

Don't worry about it being called Enterprise, no need to pay anything it's just long term update schedule.
