    So I wasn't the only one who got a WTF?! moment this morning. :wink:

    I'm driving Firefox 60.6.1 ESR that comes with Debian 9. I just changed "xpinstall.signatures.required" from "true" to "false" on the "about:config" page, and everything returned to normal instantly. :wink: Of course, this is just a temporary solution. I'm sure Mozilla will resolve it, probably issue new signatures for the add-ons, ASAP.

    Cheers! :mates:

    Haha, that's why I'm using Firefox Developer Edition.
    All the addons show a sign that they coudn't get verified and the advice "continue with caution" but they still work.

    That way I can modify addons like I want without getting them disabled.

    I for example changed the gui design of the addon "Stylish" to fit my other designs instead of hurting my eyes
    by beeing white while everything else is dark.

  10. Here's what's going on with your Add-ons being disabled, and how to work around the issue until its fixed.
    [​IMG]
    This is NOT an official Mozilla response. Nonetheless, I hope it's helpful.

    What's going on?
    A few hours ago a security certificate that Mozilla used to sign Firefox add-ons expired. What this means is that every add-on signed by that certificate, which seems to be nearly all of them, will now be automatically disabled by Firefox as security measure.

    In simpler terms, Firefox doesn't trust any add-ons right now.

    Here's the official acknowledgement from Mozilla on their Discourse:

    Certificate issue causing add-ons to be disabled or fail to install
    At about 6:10 PST we received a report that a certificate issue for Firefox is causing add-ons to stop working and add-on installs to fail.

    Our team is actively working on a fix. We will update as soon as we have more information.

    Update:

    11:12 p.m. PST: The team is currently testing a fix for this issue. In the meantime, signing of new extensions is disabled until the fix is in place.

    What can I do about it?
    You can either 1: Temporarily load extensions, or, in some editions of Firefox, 2: Disable signature enforcement, telling your browser to trust all extensions.

    These editions are Firefox Developer Edition, Firefox Nightly, Extended Support Release, and the Unbranded builds. There are some reports that you can disable signature enforcement on Linux or OSX regardless of Firefox ediiton. You can migrate to one of these editions using Firefox Sync or by telling it to use your original profile.

    If you aren't sure which edition of Firefox you're on, it's probably Release, but you can see for yourself by heading to ☰ > Help > About Firefox.

    So I am lucky 'cause Firefox works fine on 2 PCs and one Notebook.

    OK.

    I thought it was a feature to prevent us to be smart.

    Yes, you can! Just click in the domain field and press enter, so Firefox initiate the page request independently from Audiosex.pro
    As first, when you clicked on the link here, Firefox treated it as something coming from this audiosex website and blocked it.
    After loading the link again from the blank page, it works.

    @gatus If you are prompted as to which program to use to open the file, choose Firefox.
