Thats it !!! I have been a firefox user only.

i will continue to favour firefox and pick it instead of other browsers.

every project can have its slump.

Throw the rock all your projects had success.

Long life firefox !!! Please fix this asap!

Firefox is about to lose a ton of its users over this. I saw this on a family member's computer just now, couldn't get ublock origin installed or any extension for that matter. Had to install Chrome for them. This has to be some type of a bug, every extension gets disabled with zero notice and cannot be re-downloaded. I'm not seeing it myself yet, but haven't restarted firefox in a few hours. Has anyone tried disabli…

Restarting Firefox is not necessary for this to happen. It happened to me while streaming video a few minutes ago. I use containers and I was logged out of my account, since containers were disabled.

Looks like it's a certificate issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1548973

Bugzilla issue here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1548973 It's a signing cert failure, not an intentional move. Still... this is going to destroy user trust in Firefox.

Major bugs like this are uncommon but they happen. I know they're working on the fix. There is nothing more they could do than to fix the issue and prevent it from happening again.

This is not an intentional move, shit happens. I wouldn't lose trust so quickly. They're trying to make addons more safe and secure.
