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.

You seem to be trying in a standard Web Console, not the Browser Console.
Re: All extensions disabled due to expiration of intermediate signing cert
#494There 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…
I feel you. I saw this kind of thing coming back in 2010, when Firefox started copying Chrome blow for blow. I saw Google's influence on Mozilla and knew it could only turn out poorly. By the way, what can you say about that?

#496What 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 you're going to quit anyway, and not saying this is a good idea, what prevents you literally going and yelling at these idiots demanding answers as to why they are not doing their jobs?
So many people have done this. Watch videos of past Mozilla All Hands meetings. You see the questions asked, you see the leaders dodge, and you see that soon after the askers are gone and leaders say- you have nothing to be afraid of, you don’t need to ask questions anonymously. “Executives” at 1000 person Mozilla are so distant from the workers, and middle managers listen to executives, not staff. It is so sad becau…

#498Honestly, I just have to wonder what the Mozilla devs do. Don't they use extensions? Didn't they notice what was going on? Why does it increasingly feel like a more random Google Chrome-Lite paired with Apple's 'best intentions'?
This is a certificate that expired, not some insufficiently-tested change someone deployed. Mozilla devs had their extensions disabled at the same time as everyone else.

#499Re: All extensions disabled due to expiration of intermediate signing cert
#500If 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…
Only reason I've heard of it is because my dad calling me in "panic", it seem to affect both his PC.
