All extensions disabled due to expiration of intermediate signing cert

5 years since Heartbleed, yeah? Was this cert one that was pulled into sync due to being reissued?

Not sure what kind business processes are practiced in Mozilla. Some organizations have the notation of recurring tasks as part of their business processes. Recurring tasks are just like bug reports except they are created and assigned automatically to task owners on a schedule, such as every month, every quarter, and every year.

The goal of recurring task is to get people's attention to review and perform tasks the happen periodically. It could be as simple as reviewing it and marking it done. They will show up as part of the bug report to the assignees, so they can at one place see all the bugs, feature requests, tasks, and recurring tasks.

Cert renewing would fall under the recurring task category.

> Also, wow, the web has a ton of ads. I've been running uBlock origin so long I forgot how bad it had gotten :(

Try turning it off. I got rid of ublock after arstechnica complained about a lot of their users blocking ads years ago and it honestly isn't that bad. Every once in a while I do back out of a page for maxing out one of my cpu cores but otherwise, nothing ever bad happens. With ads: either it takes me half a second to tell I'm not interested in an ad, or I actually am interested and i follow the ad because I am interested and I want to support the website.

The alternative is websites charging insane amounts of money with paywalls (Wall street journal has their "best" price for 12 months at $360 a year). That is horrible because it means only rich people can pay for high quality news as ads are one of the most progressive forms of payment (rich people ads are way more valuable than poor peoples and yet everyone gets the same quality services/news with the ad model despite their income/net worth).

To re-enable all disabled non-system addons you can do the following. I am not responsible if this fucks up your install:

Open the browser console by hitting ctrl-shift-j

Copy and paste the following code, hit enter. Until mozilla fixes the problem you will need to redo this once every 24 hours:

    // Re-enable *all* extensions

    async function set_addons_as_signed() {
        Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/addons/XPIDatabase.jsm");
        Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/AddonManager.jsm");
        let addons = await XPIDatabase.getAddonList(a => true);

        for (let addon of addons) {
            // The add-on might have vanished, we'll catch that on the next startup
            if (!addon._sourceBundle.exists())
                continue;

            if( addon.signedState != AddonManager.SIGNEDSTATE_UNKNOWN )
                continue;

            addon.signedState = AddonManager.SIGNEDSTATE_NOT_REQUIRED;
            AddonManagerPrivate.callAddonListeners("onPropertyChanged",
                                                    addon.wrapper,
                                                    ["signedState"]);

            await XPIDatabase.updateAddonDisabledState(addon);

        }
        XPIDatabase.saveChanges();
    }

    set_addons_as_signed();

Edit: Cleanup up code slightly...
