Re: All extensions disabled due to expiration of intermediate signing cert
#942And now, all my plug-in / extension settings / preferences are gone after updating...
Re: All extensions disabled due to expiration of intermediate signing cert
#943There's a workaround that involves going to about:config and setting xpinstall.signatures.required to false. However, if you're running the Stable or Beta version, it will only work under Linux. On Windows and MacOS you'll need to download Nightly or the Developer Edition. To fix this on MacOS I did the following: 1. Downloaded and installed Firefox Nightly 2. Ran /Applications/Firefox\ Nightly.app/Contents/MacOS/fir…
This worked for me on Firefox 60.6.1esr on Debian 9 Linux—changing the setting instantly restored my addons.
BINGO... X-ring.
I OWE you, dude.
Re: All extensions disabled due to expiration of intermediate signing cert
#944Just discovered the same message in the Tor browser, and it seems that NoScript got disabled. So people running Tor are a lot more vulnerable right now. Also, wow, the web has a ton of ads. I've been running uBlock origin so long I forgot how bad it had gotten :(
> Also, wow, the web has a ton of ads. I've been running uBlock origin so long I forgot how bad it had gotten :( Try turning it off. I got rid of ublock after arstechnica complained about a lot of their users blocking ads years ago and it honestly isn't that bad. Every once in a while I do back out of a page for maxing out one of my cpu cores but otherwise, nothing ever bad happens. With ads: either it takes me half…
What?
This has Nothing to do with "Ads". It has to do with malicious scripts and gratuitous webtrash that sucks up resources.
The instant Mozilla turned off my "Noscript", I got one of those phishing popups that pretends to be from Microsuck and totally locks up Firefux.
On a machine with limited memory, cores, or what-have-you, every webprogrammer's special cute little "Animation" will run, gratuitously, and slow your machine down so much that it becomes unusable.
Maybe "Advertisers" need to finger out how to write adaptive code that doesn't depend on cutesy little videos that choke older systems to death. (I notice Amazon has done that... you can run it on nearly anything. Which is why... oh, never mind.)

> now I find out all my browsing history has been logged to Firefox servers. Where are you getting this from?
I am getting it from the simple fact that when I looked at Normandy related settings a unique ID and an API endpoint screamed at me ... Let's assume the explanation given here regarding Normandy's endpoint is legitimate. Why am I assigned a unique ID? How hard is it to make the connection between the fact that for the past N years, despite telemetry and studies being turned off, my browser had been pinging Mozilla wi…
Disclaimer: I work for Mozilla on the operations team responsible for Firefox's backend services, including Normandy.
TL;DR you are not sending us your browsing history.
If telemetry and studies were turned off, your browser wasn't sending us this unique id.
If you had kept them enabled, for normandy telemetry you would have been sending us the data described at https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/components/n...
You can read more broadly about what data Firefox sends by default at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/
And learn more about the review process any data collection has to go through at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Data_Collection

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…
I'm running Firefox 56 and installed this fix yesterday, but it does nothing for me. Is there a way to fix this that works on older versions. Updating the browser isn't an option because I've legacy addons running that I can't work without.
The best way is to install Waterfox, because its compatible with all the legacy Addons of FF56, and you are not gonna see any big difference.

That's a really old version of firefox, probably an API has changed with my workaround. I know of an API change that means the official hotfix won't work (whether you install it my bootleg way or the official studies way). My recommendation is to upgrade your firefox version.
The reason I don't want to upgrade is because I don't want to lose all my legacy addons, a lot of them dissapeared and there are no alternatives. I can't understand how Mozilla can break my browser remotely and force me tu upgrade to a more restricted browser...
Install WaterFox, same old FF56 but the legacy addons are still working.
