Folks, I’m seeing a lot of people recommend setting xpinstall.signatures.required to false to fix the Firefox extensions issue.

⚠️ DO NOT DO THIS! ⚠️

It disables signature checking on extensions which means that you open yourself up to malicious extensions if you install any new ones or if you have auto updates on.

Either follow the instructions here https://nixnet.xyz/ by @amolith

Or go the officially recommended (but less private) route: https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/102039553570119536

Well, I fixed the Addon-Problem with the
hotfix-update-xpi-intermediate%40mozilla.com-1.0.2-signed.xpi
...and I had a look inside what it does... (adding an intermediate cert to certdb and reverify all addons)

So, does this mean every Addon can add any cert if it thinks this is funny? Isn't this another big security hole?

So #Mozilla fixed the #Firefox certificate expiration issue that disabled all your extensions. All you have to do to get the fix is to check:

✅ Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla

✅ Allow Firefox to install and run studies

:gargron:

(Don’t forget to turn these off right after your extensions show up again. I restarted the browser but not sure if that’s necessary.)
