Not the end of the world. An annoyance sure, but not the end of the world. You people need to relax and stop throwing temper tantrums over nonsense.

Sure this is annoying, but not the end of the world. There have been far worse bugs. You people need to relax and stop throwing temper tantrums over nonsense.

I think this fail-closed behavior is more of a security issue than the one it is trying to solve. All of my security add-ons - Privacy Badger, NoScript, Decentraleyes, and many more were disabled. Even worse, it happened without notice to the user. One moment I was browsing the internet (just barely) secured by these add-ons, and the next moment, all of them disappeared (without warning) and I only noticed when I saw…

I love my privacy too but you’ve got to keep the magnitude of things in mind. Those extensions are making it harder to correlate your interactions with different companies, this fail-closed behavior is protecting you against criminals gaining access to all your online accounts.

ll of my add-ons won't install either. I get a message saying download failed check your connection. Nothing is wrong with my connection.

I also can no longer set my new tab feature to go to google.

I also can't set my New Tab to go to google anymore.

I cannot even download new extensions to replace the ones that have been disabled, What the heck is going on.

The kicker is, I cannot even download new extensions either, it asks me to check my internet connection, but it isn't my internet that is the problem. What the heck is going on.

Yes, and I'm very upset, as well
