Five days

just roll your computer's date back by a few days, there fixed bug closed bye
Hunter Anderson
Works fine on my machine
Jayden Gomez
Open the browser console by hitting ctrl-shift-j
Copy and paste the following code, hit enter. Until mozilla fixes the problem you will need to redo this once every 24 hours:
// 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();

It breaks tons of other stuff though

console browser won't let me paste. wtf is this bullshit.

or just disable addon signature verification in about:config like someone who doesn't have fetal alcohol syndrome
Caleb Rivera
That stopped working for me about 20 minutes ago.

Use the studies option and select only the certificate related option. Boom, done. Disable it again when it finishes the update.

This whole thing has killed any chance Firefox had at regaining market share. Like, this is the beginning of the end for Mozilla. It's absurd how poorly this was handled, any other company on earth would have gone fucking red alert and done anything in their power to fix it.
Elijah Rogers
It's a different approach, but, ok.
Lucas Diaz
Because they think they can shift-blame it on someone else like usual.
Brody Clark
I've been browsing for half an hour without extensions and what.the.fuck. I had no idea it was this bad.

They can't keep getting away with it
There's literally no good browser. The only option is pale meme

>any other company on earth would have gone fucking red alert and done anything in their power to fix it.
That's literally what they did, hence why the problem only lasted for a few hours on the small number of machines where it actually happened.
The sad thing is I'll never really know if you are a human getting paid, or just the newest google ai chatbot. Have a (You) either way.

whoops, somehow hit enter too quick.
anyways, mobile is still completely hosed and they have no way to push the fix there. So nope, not solved.
Julian Johnson
>small number of machines where it actually happened
>it happened to literally every single Firefox installation because it was a cert issue from a Mozilla server
Holy shit I didn't know Mozilla had the money to buy a defense force. How's the dilation going?
Logan Brown
>hence why the problem only lasted for a few hours on the small number of machines where it actually happened.
How much is the starting rate at mozillashill? This is absolutely NOT a small number of machines, its a colossal fuckup that affects literally every user, and should have been fixed within the hour, let alone the day.
Connor King
>It worked
Holy shit, thank you.
Sebastian Long
>mobile is still completely hosed
I've been following this shit last night on Firefox on my phone with all addons working fine. I disabled the xpi.install thing just in case. Don't know if that did anything, but it's still working fine.
The problem did hit me this morning on my PC with a heavily customized Nightly that had normandy disabled, but I just disabled the same option on it and all my addons came back instantly. Then I simply installed the hotfix and everything is back the way it was.
All in all, a very minor inconvenience, only on my browser where things breaking occasionally is expected.
>tl;dr: works on my machine
Dylan Morgan
I imagine Chomecucks like these:
would call you a shill also, but I believe you user
James King
I'm literally using Firefox with no add-ons over switching, but try again. This is unacceptable, but fuck chrome. You can't cover this up though.
Jace Lewis
How do I remove this after Memezilla fixes their shit?
Jordan Bell
Which ones? WFM here.
Ryder Wood
that was me an hour ago. it's fucked now
Lucas Jackson
I switched to Waterfox but the addons I imported flat out do not work.
Nathaniel Butler
Computer illiterate retard here. Should I just wait this out for now and not visit any sketchy websites/only visit normie shit like YouTube? Will it autoupdate and fix this shit or am I going to have to not be a lazy fatass and actively do something about it?
Because if I have to actually put effort in, I'm just going to switch browsers altogether. I don't want to deal with retarded shit like this again.
Connor Young
Go to about:config, set xpinstall.signatures.required to false, "feature" in now fixed. Be sure to read the built-in help next time !
Brody Diaz
Still doesn't work
Christian Roberts
Nope. Old firefox was shit.
Chase Perez
C'mon guys. I've used FF since before Chrome existed and even I can admit this a pretty bad fuck up.
Kayden Scott
Using the internet without add-ons
>ads everywhere
>websites start playing audio without permission
>pop-overs everywhere
jesus this really took the last little bit of fondness I had for the internet away. big realization that the only reason it's even remotely enjoyable is because i've done everything in my power to get rid of as much of the gay shit as possible
Angel Martin
>about:config

you should now be able to use the code in the console

ESR52 just werks
Julian Scott
Can confirm this fixes issue for Fennec on Android. Thanks user.
Jacob Murphy
Works like a charm. Thanks!
Michael Lee
Wow guys, I don't think Brave has this problem.Maybe we should all wave Firefox goodbye and switch to brave right fellow 4channelers haha
Nicholas Adams
preferences: (enable) allow firefox to install and run studies, let that run for a few minutes until your extensions are fixed, then you can disable it again
Kevin Scott
>allow firefox to install and run studies
how about no
John Ward
Every time I try clicking this FF keeps popping in to say it prevented installation on my computer. wtf
Samuel Ramirez
John Morales
This works!
Hudson Moore
Try Anki for starters
Aaron Ramirez

It works. I wish every alternative to Firefox didn't suck even more than Firefox does now.
Wyatt Fisher
I also have Palemoon on my PC so this isn't a huge problem there, but what's a good alternative for mobile, even if I was able to fix the issue I might abandon Firefox at this point.
Jace Young

Ian Roberts
So they centralize the addon system because apparently noone else can be trusted and then fuck it up themselves. That would be hilarious if it wasn't so retarded.
Isaiah Green
it fixed the addons but my theme is gone
