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…

This ISSUE IS NOT A BUG IT WAS PLANNED to force everyone to allow MORE OF THEIR MALICIOUS CODE ON YOUR SYSTEM to CONTROL WHAT YOU SEE
MOZILLA has BROKEN THROUGH the PRIVACY of TOR and to fix your TOR BROWSERS over this FAKE BUG you totally corrupt your TOR PRIVACY....
Get rid of FIREFAUX, and TOR, and all other MOZILLA PRODUCTS.
Use only PALE MOON, I have been testing about 5 browsers and now Im DUMPING FIREFAUX TODAY and down to 2, PALE MOON and BRAVE, but BRAVE is not so hot, Pale Moon is really improved a few days ago with the latest upgrade... It is clearly leading the pack.
CHROME IS THE WORSE for STEALING YOUR PRIVATE INFORMATION.
Say good bye to the FEMINIST FAGGOTS at MOZILLA... Look up ETHICAL TECH, FEMINIST AI in Mozilla's PRESS RELEASES...

The level of paranoia throughout this thread is truly through the roof..... Mozilla has had several "PR nightmare" decisions that a vocal set of users didn't like, and sometimes were genuinely ill advised/bad/shitty. But as far as I can see they do not have a bad track record when it comes to security/privacy. Do you have any examples of actual serious security/privacy fuck ups by Mozilla/Firefox? I mean that stood u…
> But as far as I can see they do not have a bad track record when it comes to security/privacy. Do you have any examples of actual serious security/privacy fuck ups by Mozilla/Firefox? I mean, they are currently shipping real actual ads on the new tab page that aren't blocked by ad blockers - and possibly can't be (there are limits to what WebExtensions can modify on Firefox internal pages). Sure, maybe your parent…
This is exactly the sensationalist misrepresentation I was talking about. You don't like what they are doing, fine. Misrepresenting it as something that it's not is not fine.
Besides: Mozilla is funded in large parts by having Google as the default search provider. This means they are funded by Google selling ads. Them starting up new revenue streams and getting away from that funding model would be a pro privacy step.

if uBlock got compromised as an extension even for 1 day, the amount and value of data uBlock can collect will make anyone very very rich. It's on the level of saving passwords as texts in terms of privacy.
Newbie question: why can't they just renew the certificate, like in 5 minutes?
A new certificate can be generated if you have to in a couple of minutes, sure. Of course, you probably defined some procedures to do it properly and securely that require more time. Then the issue becomes: how to get the new certificate to a few hundreds million users? If it was a certificate on some server, just replace it there, done. Client software will just pick it up. But not here. A copy of the certificate is…
A sample procedure doing exactly this, and a fix for Firefox https://www.velvetbug.com/benb/icfix/
The same procedure can be used on newer versions, but the syntax is a bit different (import cert, go to about:addons, open console):
Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/addons/XPIDatabase.jsm");
XPIDatabase.verifySignatures();
