FIREFOX ADDON FIX (66.0.3)

Grab the Unbranded Build of Firefox here: wiki.mozilla.org/Add-ons/Extension_Signing#Unbranded_Builds

Extract target.zip, this is a self-contained Firefox build and won't delete or overwrite your regular installed version.

Close any open Firefox windows.

Open the Unbranded Build (firefox.exe in the extracted folder).

In the address bar, type in "about:config".

Click "I accept the risk!"

Search for "xpinstall.signatures.required" and set the value to "false".

Search for "xpinstall.whitelist.required" and set the value to "false".

(If you attempted to set either of the above to "false" on your old Firefox install, toggle it to "true" then "false" again.)

????

Profit.

When Mozilla unshit Firefox, back up your profile and switch to ESR release.

That is a lot of steps. Isn't it easier to just download chrome and use it instead?

Or, you know, just roll back your clock a couple days.

>Wintoddlers btfo

I agree with this go-guy.
Get chrome, google only wants the best for you, we swear.

Does not work. Tried one day ago, tried two days ago, tried a month ago.

Thats right goy! We'll provide you with convenience, as long as you allow us unlimited access and the rights to your data! Practically free, amirite?

Huh, worked just fine for me. That's kinda odd.

so what the fuck happened that all my addons just shit themselvrs?

>Isn't it easier to just accept the botnet?
No.

Some retard forgot to renew the certificate that manages addon verification.

Someone @Mozilla forgot to update a certification that checks that add-ons are legit, so with that lapsed, it thinks everything doesn't work.

Someone at Mozilla shit the bed and forgot to pay the cert bill. Add-on sovereignty was lost worldwide, and the Goongle swept in to take marketshare.
Some say it was a double agent working for Google that did it, but no one really knows for sure.

Thank you OP... this works for me.
( themes are a bit off, but fuck it, have NoScript/adblock back )

So what happens now? Do we just wait or is FF just fucked?

DoS attack they have their hands full this weekend

chromium is botnet?

>20 second fix
Well that put me through hell.

JUST USE FIREFOX AND DISABLE 20 TELEMETRY CONFIG SETTINGS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Firefox addon fix:
install waterfox

Thank fuck it wasn't just me. Within the past five minutes it feels like every tech related site just imploded with this news. Fuck Firefox and FUCK niggers.

just put this in your user.js

user_pref("xpinstall.signatures.requirede", false);
user_pref("xpinstall.whitelist.requirede", false);

All disingenuity and dishonesty aside, what are the downsides to using waterfox over firefox?

All Blink-based browsers are compromised.
The only things left are Gecko forks like Goanna or holding your nose with Quantum.

Wait and make some laugh at Firefox threads in the meantime.

Nope

hmm i guess no reason to give a shit. what kind of retard is doing private stuff without tor and a secure os anyway?

>Egads!
When did computing get so fucking immature and retarded? I want off this wild ride

Should work since what's causing the issue is an expired certificate. Same thing happens with some rs4 cards for the Nintendo DS.

I'm more affended that every time I try to googlefu to find out why the fuck the Chrome installer doesn't even try to work, all I come up with is "Error code 0x80010119 FIX.exe", it's fucking annoying.
Probably the same reason the Xbox Controller Driver refuses to install, my Windows must be fucked up

It's a server-side issue, so it's fucked until Mozilla cleans up their mess. This is a good workaround in the meantime.

it's required. this wont work as those don't exist.

Nah.
Watefox or Palemoon
Chrome or Brave
Opera
Just pick one and move on. Fucking incompetent Firefox devs.

Thank you, based user.

FIREFOX ADDON FIX
- Uninstall Firefox
- Install something else

I used Firefox for over a decade until now.

I didn't know it would 'break' and pretty sure it won't break firefox at all. Even if, it's not white knighting, stop being underage and go back to /b/ if you think this is for the lulz. btw, 2006 called, they want for the lulz back. go to sleep, its past your bed time, kiddo.

Are you serious, you silly little wanker?

Go fuck off and get hit by a bus, butthurt whiteknight niggerfaggot.

Because firefox never breaks, huh?

Not working for me, it seems to run as just another instance of regular Firefox, even changing settings in about:config also changes them in my running regular firefox. Also tried waterfox but no dice. What a clusterfuck, how long will it take them to renew their certificate?

I've always thought this but Firefox has been quickly going down the shitter since 2011 when they released version 4.0.

Werks on my machine

You didn't close all your Firefox instances before opening the unbranded build? Close them and do it again, and remember to toggle the triggers.

Worked for me on Windows 10

imagine unironically getting upset over a random retard making fun of you by using a gif of an anime girl. you're the kid who got made fun of in school all the time, and cried to the teacher about it, aren't you?
lmfao you're the only one butthurt here, and you're super butthurt. you're trying to act like you were
>delete system32
trolling someone, and I came out and said "NOO THAT BREAKSS YOUR PC". When in reality I thought you were an underage foreigner who can't spell (but you still prob are an underage nonwhite), and corrected it, unknowingly, stopping your "epic lulz hacker troll moment". go cry some more.
what? this doesn't even make sense. I never said 'firefox never breaks', I said I didn't know that misspelling something in about:config would break it, not that firefox is unbreakable or perfect. why are there so many fucking idiots on Jow Forums. learn to read you illiterate nonwhite faggot.

Your firefox is broken, nerd.

Well you got me here, but I can't do that since I have an add-on that prevents browser tabs from loading (LoadTabOnSelect) unless I've clicked on the tab, which I use so FF doesn't open all 500+ tabs from my session at once on loading but only on clicking them. Tabs that I'm not going to load without a script blocker, never mind that doing so would probably make it crash. I'm literally locked in this session until Mozilla fix it I guess.

>not using brave
lol do you need help finding your key cuck?

enable debugging addons and manually load them from your firefox profile

Attached: done.png (841x196, 7K)

More effort and needs to be done every time you open Firefox, no thanks.

It just hit midnight for me, and the addons haven't been disabled. so setting

xpinstall.signatures.required
and
xpinstall.whitelist.required to false worked for me on firefox 66.0.3 regular

I found a different fix guys
if you delete the System32 folder, your addons work again

thanks, working now! sir, do you have a fix for android? thank you so much

Thanks but it seems addons need to be reinstalled again, to witch sadly, most of mine aren't even listed on firefox anymore. Seems i will finally need switch browsers.

Which browser are we switching to?

That or use the dev ver which works

yeah if you didn't do it in time, and opened firefox, it'll disable them and you have to apply the fix then reinstall. if its midnight on may 4th, and you haven't applied those two values, don't open firefox, you can edit prefs.js and edit/add the values there, preventing you from the issue, and you won't need to reinstall the addons, firefox will work normally.

Someone told me Waterfox but I don't know.

Easier fix. Open browser console and paste and run this.
// Re-enable *all* extensions

async function set_addons_as_signed() {
Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/addons/XPIDatabase.jsm");
Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/AddonManager.jsm");
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 XPIDatabase.updateAddonDisabledState(addon);

}
XPIDatabase.saveChanges();
}

set_addons_as_signed();

Wait you can actually run code to force the browser to see all addons as signed? That doesn't seem very secure.

Mozilla's incompetence is a curse and a blessing.

This worked for me.

Will this delete my win32?

It fucking worked, why is this allowed?

Where do I type it?
I see "TypeError: Components.utils is undefined".

Have you typed `Allow pasting`?

Figured it out.
devtools.chrome.enabled needs to be set to true.
And use console from ctrl+shift+j

It worked!
Thanks a lot, user.

>SyntaxError: missing ; before statement

What am I doning wrong?

use Sea Monkey for the comfy ui, minimalism, fuctionality (mail client, rss, wysiwyg html editor) and philosophy.
Pale Moon for the addon selection.
anyring else is worthless trash.

You're missing a semicolon.

On linux, addons have gone, on my companys' windoze they're still out there.

The developer said that no one needs to be worried about malware javascript because it's "impossible" for it to damage your machine or install anything. He's a fucking retard, I bailed when I read that and no one pushed back.

Your company is likely using ESR, which lets them load unsigned add ons. This can be used to install internal add on software, for example.

This is the recipe for digital mustard gas.

I got it to work, but Tor rejected it.

FUCKY WUCKY

at least chrome has working extensions. go back to your containment board pol faggot

You're running a script that you got from Jow Forums without thinking, that's what's wrong.

>triggered by a literal word
Snowflakes these days

I've used it for years. It was kind of abandoned for a while but has been getting recent updates.
Good browser

Fuck firefox. This is the last straw. Im moving to icecat

No, retard.

You just need to do this
>about:config
>"xpinstall.signatures.required" and set the value to "false".

That only works if you're on nightly, dev, or using an unbranded version

What does "unbranded" mean? I'm using the one provided by my package manager.
My addons aren't even disabled on my main profile despite not doing shit to the xpinstall values.

>Search for "xpinstall.signatures.required" and set the value to "false".
>Search for "xpinstall.whitelist.required" and set the value to "false".
this is all there is to it, why did you complicate so much

>What does "unbranded" mean?
Literally read the link in the OP
If that worked alone there wouldn't be a dozen threads on this shit

>read the link in the OP
Doesn't say shit.

>If that worked alone there wouldn't be a dozen threads on this shit
i just did it on mozilla's esr, muh addons are restored
