What a spectacular failure... it's hours later, and still not working. The only thing firefox has going for itself stopped working. Already one family member and one friend switched to chrome.
Just switch for a day. You're making this out to be a much bigger issue than it has the capacity to be.
If this isn't a critical security issue, what is?
There have been major organizational problems at Mozilla for a long time that precipitated this. Many of us saw something like this coming, saw gaps and unclear responsibilities, reported these gaps and confusions up the chain, and were reprimanded and financially penalized for asking the tough questions. The questions were never answered, and we all quit, were fired, or lost motivation as a result. This is a tech pr…
Was it slow rot or some event triggering it?

You basically just described any sufficiently large organization. Complaining is not helping anyone in these situations, the only thing you can do to change things is to go ahead and try to change things. Reporting things up the chain hardly ever works because the chain is too busy with their own issues and politics. You have to make it worth their while.
>the only thing you can do to change things is to go ahead and try to change things how? Reporting up the chain is THE way to change things. When it doesn't work what are you supposed to do?

Super useful, thanks. In my case ctrl+shift+j opens a dumb console that only shows messages and doesn't take any input. I had to go to about:addons, hit F12 for the Dev Tools and paste it in the console there. Worked well.
If you go to about:config and set "devtools.chrome.enabled" to true, the cmd-shift-j thing should work
If everyone's add-ons are disabled, I wonder why mine are not. My computer has been running over night (coincidentally, first time in years) and my add-ons are intact. Does it take a browser restart? Or might I have a setting that prevents this from happening? My system time is correct. Edit: am on Firefox 66, Linux (Debian Buster/testing), using Firefox from Mozilla directly (not through repositories), and my intern…
Let's see what the day will bring...

Looks like all extensions have been disabled for all Firefox users. 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…
On a positive note, it's been a while since I browsed without a lot of extensions. Ads are still annoying and I noticed some extensions apparently had more of a performance impact than you'd hope.

NoScript and uBlock Origin have stopped working. This opens up a LOT of attack surface for malicious hackers. If this isn't a critical security issue, what is?
