Meanwhile, having to browse the web without an adblocker has been nothing but relaxing for everybody else.

Sorry, the stress someone on the Firefox team must be experiencing would easily be magnitudes beyond what we are.

No offense but they're not getting inhumane shock treament either if you're going to pull "our stress is holier than thou" and say it's magnitudes higher, I'll be waiting scientific backing on this or else it's just rude... plus they can always just not make me periodically re-install all my addons with no option to just bypass verification... except this time it doesn't work even with the fixes. (Actually, one time I just didn't see it was set to update automatically downgrading one of them. I'm no expert on these issues, really. They just could have asked first in my opinion.) Thanks, Mozillama.

Edit: I had to click "Restart with addons disabled (safe mode)" for those wondering.

What version of firefox are you running? Apparently beta and nightly need to change `Components.utils.import` to `ChromeUtils.import`. But anyways, don't use this now, use the semi-official fix of clicking on this link and letting it install: https://storage.googleapis.com/moz-fx-normandy-prod-addons/e... This is the fix Mozilla has published to be installed via shield studies, but skipping the shield studies part. Y…

"The add-on could not be downoaded because of a connection failure." Win 10 FF 66.0.3 64-bit (Studies checked by default anyway). In Australia.

right click, download to desktop. Drag it into your firefox window. It will install then.

Thks, it worked, I installed the fix. But do I have to uninstall the .xpi after? And how? Also, my addons are back, but I still have the error message (see screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/t1wb316.png ) Also do I still have to allow the "allow firefow to install and run studies"? Thks.

I don't see any reason that you need to uninstall the .xpi, but you might as well. See here (hoping someone replies there with a better method of uninstalling, my method is a bad hack) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19827428 You don't need to allow firefox to install and run studies, that's just a way of letting firefox automatically install this xpi. Did that error message only appear after you installed the .…

"You don't need to allow firefox to install and run studies, that's just a way of letting firefox automatically install this xpi."

In that case I am wondering why Mozila didn't provide a direct link...it would have been faster. Maybe there is another reason to ask us to run studies...wondering.

Oh, thank you for the pointer in the right direction! In the mean time, I was just glad to have any way to use my browser again!

In the mean time, installing the hotfix extension and running the script seems to help :)

I also using 56.0.2 (64 bit). Can you help me finding solution? I am on different date now to use FF, but I am already 2 days in the past. I tried to use your script and have: "// For FF ...? async function set_addons_as_signed() { Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/addons/XPIProvider.jsm"); Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/AddonManager.jsm"); let XPIDatabase = this.XPIInternal.XPIDatabase;

      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 XPIProvider.updateAddonDisabledState(addon);
  
      }
      XPIDatabase.saveChanges();
  }
  
  set_addons_as_signed();
Promise { : "pending" }"

EDIT: have this one now: ado.config({ consent: true }); inpl.anc.js:40

Also what hotfix you refer too. I can not install hotfix-update-xpi-intermediate@mozilla.com-1.0.2-signed.xpi on old version :/

EDIT2: Installed this fix using debuging but it is not for a old FF and got some errors:

Reading manifest: Error processing hidden: An unexpected property was found in the WebExtension manifest. Reading manifest: Error processing experiment_apis: An unexpected property was found in the WebExtension manifest.

Possibly you just need to force it to reverify again. If this is still the state of things try setting `app.update.lastUpdateTime.xpi-signature-verification` to 0 in about:config, and then restarting your browser. But no guarantees. Do you have reason to believe the addons are still installed?

That worked, thank you! As a side note, the value for that setting got reset after I restarted firefox. Also, I uninstalled the fix by simply removing the extension in about:addons. Is this the correct way to do it?

Yep, you're all good. I'm surprised it let you remove the fix from about:addons but I wouldn't worry about it.

That value resetting is expected, it's the time when Firefox thinks it last checked signatures, it resetting just means this convinced it to recheck as intended.

I installed hotfix-update-xpi-intermediate@mozilla.com-1.0.2-signed.xpi as temporary extension and then was able somehow to install it in standard way.

I can't really vouch for it, but sounds like it worked for them.
