A temporary workaround:

  • 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.

To find your profile directory:

Windows: C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\profile-id.default\extensions
Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/profile-id.default/extensions/
MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/profile-id.default/extensions

This got ublock back up for now, thanks

Didn't work for me, do you need a specific version of Firefox?

At what step did it break? If there's an error loading an extension it should say so below the Load Temporary Addon button.

Nothing broke, I browsed to them, opened them and they appeared below in the config tab. Then I closed firefox and reopened it and they are still visible in the debugging tab, but don't function.

Edit: I'm an idiot, it works, it just doesn't persist after restarting the browser.

You can set xpinstall.signatures.required to false temporary workaround depending on what options FF was compiled with. I don't think it'll work on normal Windows installs (you'll need dev/nightly) but at least on some linux distros they enable the relevant options in their regular builds.

You can alternatively install the Unbranded builds, which do not have signature checks if you set the about :config flag:

Since this is related to expired certificates for code signing, it doesn't really have to do with cloud computing. This would affect you even if you weren't connected to the internet.

Likely, Mozilla will update and resign all addons that they host. Then once the browser pulls down the new version, that will unlock them.

just happened to me 5 minutes ago with almost all my extensions. only one i really cared about was ublock origin but this is a pain

edit: temporary add-on fix posted earlier worked but this is still insane that it's necessary and apparently no one had any idea that this was happening

This worked for me, but only for umatrix not ublock. Ublock doesn't have an xpi file for me, probably because I panicked and tried to reinstall it before I realized it's a firefox wide problem.

12:50 p.m. UTC / 03:50 a.m. PDT: We rolled-out a fix for release, beta and nightly users on Desktop. The fix will be automatically applied in the background within the next few hours, you don’t need to take active steps.

In order to be able to provide this fix on short notice, we are using the Studies system. You can check if you have studies enabled by going to Firefox Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Allow Firefox to install and run studies.

You can disable studies again after your add-ons have been re-enabled.

We are working on a general fix that doesn’t need to rely on this and will keep you updated.

Studies would their their program for pushing out random experimental code into the browser, yes? The one that many people disabled after they used it to push out advertising for Mr Robot?

Working for me again as of this morning. I had to reinstall all my addons but all my settings, userscripts etc. were saved.

Kind of a big fuckup on Mozilla's part, but seeing as I've tried and hated every other browser, I'm going down with this ship I suppose.

This is what I did to fix my disabled addons, ymmv.

1) Close Browser

2) Open "extensions.json" with Notepad++ (@...AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\XXXXXXXX.default)

3) Replace all instances of "appDisabled":true with "appDisabled":false

4) Replace all instances of "signedState":-1 to "signedState":2

5) Save and start browser

6) Disable and re-enable all extensions in about:addons

7) Finally, make "extensions.json" Read only.

This is apparently the addon they're pushing in their studies based mitigation, you know, for people that don't want to enable those. Or wait for them to trigger, I guess.

Does this drop any settings or themes? It's not a permanent fix right, they will send out some other update later?
