Open about:config and set xpinstall.signatures.required to false.
That's it. Now go an reinstall / reconfigure those addons. And for anyone on firefox who hasn't hit the issue yet, still do it, because you will eventually. Also, leave that fucking setting as false forever, because Mozilla is hiring more and more incompetent sluts and niggers every day, so who knows when this will happen again. YTML.

Nah. feels good using a proper package manager
image the rage behind this post
Something tells me this guy is literally having the worst night of his entire life.
it's not easy annoying hundreds of millions of people all at once to varying degrees.
how much are corporate IT networks panicking right now? roastie HR babes must be downloading spyware left and right... clicking on all sorts of disguised links
I already had it false and it happened anyway. I went into windows appdata and restored everything in my firefox profile by a week that I could and then moved my current date back a few days. Hope it's fixed soon
thank you op
now
what is the best ad blocker to run on 4 chins?
They literally just threw this guy to the wolves when it comes to this issue.
I just rolled my clock back to yesterday, restarted Firefox, and re-installed be extensions. Fixed it for me. Same thing used to happen to R4 cards for the Nintendo DS.
General consensus says Ublock I believe.
I've had it set to false forever.
All my extensions still work.
FF Quantum 66.0.3 (64-bit)
Sorry Ublock origin
Bumpin' to help Jow Forumsentoomen out
Imagine updating a browser.
fpbp
What do you mean imagine.
Updating your browser is one of the most important fucking things you can do.
This doesn't work. I just had my addons disabled.
This will work
Navigate to about:debugging
Click the 'Load Temporary Add-on' button
Navigate to the .xpi file in your profile directory select it and click Open.
Yes, you have to do them 1 by 1.
nice
>reinstall/reconfigure those add-ons
The problem is that if I have to do it, then I might as well do it in a different browser. Goodbye, Yikesfox!
Firefox thinks they're corrupt
I didn't even need to reinstall extensions, I just changed the setting and all of them came back to life. Very easy to fix.
this worked
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 v66.0.3
This only works for the current session. When you restart, you'll have to do it all over again.
The only perma-fix seems to be migrating your profile over to ESR/Night or Dev version...Or waiting for Mozilla to fix this shit.
>tfw esr 60
none of this is fucking working for me
Mine is already false and shit isn't working
Did they fix for everyone already? Just turned on my desktop (win 10) and Firefox is working fine without any disabled addons. Checked my brother's computer too and his is also functioning normally.
ublock origin is the only right choice
Thanks user It just killed all my addons like a minute ago
This works, except that my userscript manager doesn't remember my scripts. So I can't use Jow Forums x.
proof of addons working
Its currently 12:19 AM, may 4th here (EST). Anyone else in this timezone having problems or is everyone on east coast fine?
Also not using beta developer or nightly, so I don't have the xpinstall.signatures.required set to false in about:config
What the fuck is happening? I leave the house once for 4 hours and my browser has ads again.
I'm on East coast and it nuked mine at around 11:30 PM. Maybe it just hasn't gotten to you yet for some reason.
I use Tampermonkey and it works fine. This temp fix is a real pain in the ass though because I close my browser out every 20 minutes.
I'm also EST but I set
user_pref("xpinstall.signatures.required", false);
user_pref("xpinstall.whitelist.required", false);
around 11pm, and no issue yet.
Just tried this and still getting the download failed, please check connection error when trying to get my add-ons back.
OKAY WHAT THE FRICK???
same desu
I was Violentmonkey. When I added it as a temporary add-on, it says "Reading manifest: Error processing options_page: An unexpected property was found in the WebExtension manifest." And when I open it, I don't have any scripts.
Mine's been working totally fine throughout all this as well. I did as a precaution, but I don't know if this is supposed to hit at any moment or when it's midnight here or what.
my fucking god the browser literally JUST closed by itself and the addons stopped working while I was looking at this thread.
wtf i made mustard gas
Other people have reported issues with loading ViolentMonkey as a temp add-on too.
Sorry m8, you're just fucked for now, unless you use TamperMonkey temporarily
It says it hits at midnight on may 4th, so I assume we're good, as it's past midnight here and no issues, I even restarted my browser to check.
rip, sorry man. turn back your clock, then apply those config values, then set your clock back. see if that works.
how do i get my custom theme back?
Both of those posts are me.
>Install Brave
>Like it so far
>Disabling auto fill doesn't disable autofill
>There isn't a disable history button
>Closing the browser and reloading doesn't bring back most of my tabs
I don't get it. Best I can see from my experience is that people complained about this stuff years ago and it's been a "we'll get to it" issue. Every time I look at new stuff I just want to go back to my dumpy internet wife, even if she doesn't work the best she's reliable and faithful.
The config doesn't work unless you're on nightly or developer right?
WHAT IS MORE LIKELY TO DESTROY MOZILLA
1) Google
2) One expired cert
3) Putting Kevin "Armag-addon" Brosnan in charge of fixing it
>Open about:config
how?
I am on regular Firefox 66.0.3, maybe because it's linux/installed through package manager?
literally type "about:config" in a new tab.
nice quads
quads of crap
holy shit it actually worked, what are the risks?
you're not verifying the certs anymore
Why should I fix it? It's not my job. I just use chrome for the time being
i think i'll just keep with opera for now until it gets fixed.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
NIGGERS.
okay but how do I undo Firefox being managed by a bunch of shitty brown women who can't code?
why? there are only 4 sites i ever visit. are you honestly suggesting that one of those 4 mainstream sites is going to try to break into my little ol' laptop computer?
I'm on 56 too and it broke my adblock
you have to go back
Time travel back before diversity quotas.
This isn't just only America being affected.
Expired certificate affected users globally.
>waiting for Mozilla to fix this shit
So you're pretending this is an accident?
So you think they intentionally broke almost all addons?
>trying to disable JS in the browser written by the guy who wrote JS
Brave is a fucking meme. I hate Chrome and FF but the guy invented JS ffs.
It was an "accident" in the same way that someone decides it's a good idea to get hammered before going for a drive.
Sure you didn't mean for it to end up this way, but if you had half a brain you'd realize it's your own fault.
un incels can't you wait 4 hours for a fix from mozilla?
>fix
Should I do it bois?
Why wait 4 or more hours for a fix when you can prevent this sort of mistake from ever happening from your end in 1 hour max?
Just run this in the browser console.
// 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();
My desktop firefox, which is 64 bit works perfectly fine with all add ons as I type this, but firefox android on my phone is turbo fucked.
I panicked and tried reinstalling to see if that fixed it so now all my bookmarks and history are gone
I did this and now I have a bitcoin miner I can't get rid of
I'm posting from Australia btw, so this is definitely a global issue
Maybe you didn't restart firefox since the update? That's why you dont have it yet. Same shit here.
What happens if "it" hits? Just shit like adblocker and themese get turned off?
>Joining the botnet because you can't wait for an official bugfix
themes*
It hit me while I was fucking watching a video and all my addons just stopped working and I can't add shit.
This. I can't fucking watch vids or streams now. I have Java and Flash to latest versions and won't play vids or streams.
>watch vids or streams
Maybe it's time to grow the fuck up then and stop playing video games.
DO NOT RUN THIS
IT SHAT ON MY PORCH AND LIT IT ON FIRE
Install Vivaldi.
it just happened to me and apparently theyve known about this bug for about 6 hours now from what ive seen on twitter
this is pathetic
FUCK, WHERE DID I LEAVE MY MOZILLA BRAND VERIFICATION DILDO™?
All my addons got disabled like 5 minutes ago
Thank god Jow Forums got me into making backups. restored and disabled signatures. now I'm good
Continue using firefox.
How do I fix this shit?
Nope, i'm also on linux with firefox 66.0.3 installed, it's because you are in a different timezone, soon you will also get this problem. When that happens, simply type " about:config " in a new tab and set " xpinstall.signatures.required " to " false ".
Download KeePassXC
install chrome, brave or vivaldi
Not him but will doing that beforehand prevent it from shitting itself?
Yeah, I kept getting that on all the add-ons I tried reinstalling after doing the 'signatures.required' stuff. No one gave me an answer so I installed a pile of garbage instead.
thanks this worked for me
