Guest Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 For some reason Firefox disabled all my addons and Kaspersky Internet antivirus marking them as out dated. Well, I reinstalled fresh version of FF and when I tried to install some addblocks programs for other sites it doesn't let me. Please, see the picture. My connection is all right and it works. Does anyone knows what is happening because I couldn't find the answer to my problem?Thank you.

Double-click on it's name so that the value is set to "false". Quote 1. Type about:config in the browser's address bar and hit enter. This loads Firefox's main configuration page. 2. Confirm the warning prompt if it appears. 3. Search for the preference xpinstall.signatures.required. 4. Double-click on it to toggle its value to false.

Guest Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 damn, this is so fucking frustrating. FF screwed up this time very badly. Thank you guys for trying to help but whatever I do, the fix doesn't want to install. I'm logging off before I get very pissed of on FF. You guys rock for being so agile to help. Thanks.
Erebea Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 I was surprised (in a bad way) when I saw Firefox suddenly had a problem with my add-ons, despite not having an issue until late in the day. Like I don't already dislike Mozilla, and then this happens. Anyway, for me the instructions from Mozilla solved the issue for me, and Ublock origin is working again: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2019/05/04/update-regarding-add-ons-in-firefox/

myuhinny Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 It's probably a google cheap tactic to try to prevent people from blocking their spam ads and other worthless crap they spam everywhere. I use stands blocker for chrome and one of the addons for it they have a warning this extension violates the chrome web store policy. Where I say well tough titty to you I'm still going to use it.
Guest Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 I tried everything, even opening the fix link in new window. Fucking FF doesn't let me install new addons and doesn't fix old one. So here is the final answer for this issue: It's fucking BUG. https://www.ghacks.net/2019/05/04/your-firefox-extensions-are-all-disabled-thats-a-bug/ The issue can only be resolved on Mozilla's end. The organization needs to renew the certificate or create a new one to resolve the issue. I'd expect Mozilla to do that soon as the issue is widespread and affecting lots of Firefox users.

Storms of Superior Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 FF tried to pull this shit with me. the problem resolved itself. Also, kaspersky is bad for you.

It enabled the permissions, it didn't actively allow the extensions to block generated code after a page was loaded and processed through or allow the extensions to actually run correctly, particularly Noscript and anything affecting HTML5 codecs/encoding. "Works for me" is not a thing, and never will be a thing.

The organization needs to renew the certificate or create a new one to resolve the issue. I'd expect Mozilla to do that soon as the issue is widespread and affecting lots of Firefox users. Switching off that faulty certificate check in about:config is only the first step, if you already got hit by them. Spoiler xpinstall.signatures.required;false If you already got hit, whenever you restart your browser about:debugging => load add-on temporary ... from your profile folder One by one. Annoying, but it's just to survive the weekend. They are rolling out a hotfix via their studies system (we continue to refuse to partake) for a few hours right now and (hopefully) they can make a proper fix and release it later today/tomorrow. If some of anybody's add-ons were privacy or security related, I strongly advise NOT to use the internet WITHOUT them!
Guest Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 Update: FF upgraded itself and my add-ons completely recovered. Thank goodness.
