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.

I got all extensions to work temporarily by forcing the following settings in user.js (or could be set manually in about:config): user_pref( "extensions.legacy.enabled", true ); user_pref( "xpinstall.signatures.required", false ); FWIW, I'm on Debian Stable with Firefox 60.6.1esr.

I think only the 2nd is needed, my extensions.legacy.enabled is False.
