The only reason for settings on extensions to be lost in this whole kerfluffle is if you remove them. Sadly the first "fix" that was going around was removing and re-adding them in experimental mode. Meanwhile my poo poo still hasn't been disabled. I intentionally haven't closed firefox since the news hit, thinking maybe it only does the check at startup. Guess so! They really have made great improvements in memory management, a few years ago this would be eating multiple gigs. fake edit: lol had extensions disabled literally as I was typing this post, I was wrong

How does Mozilla gently caress up code-signing by not timestamping? It boggles my mind that they even allowed this to happen in the first place.

Worse, I was away from the computer and didn't catch it right away. I shudder to think about all the background-loaded ads and trackers during that dark period.

Mine still isn't fixed. I had studies enabled, installed the temporary fix, and still nothing, even after a computer restart. Not only that, I can't even use the temporary add-on fix anymore because they somehow turned into file folder files instead of .xpi files, possibly because I installed the temporary "fix". Which did nothing. I hope this actually gets fixed soon.

The hotfix addon linked above worked right away for me, after loading it and then restarting FF. I didn't even enable studies. OTOH I can't see it in my addons panel or the about:studies page. Hopefully I won't be stuck with it forever. Edit hahahaha I did lose settings for one extension: mozilla's own multi-account containers.

icantfindaname posted:Does this drop any settings or themes? It's not a permanent fix right, they will send out some other update later? My understanding is that the shield addon is a script that adds a new certificate to the database so that the trust paths for affected addons can be verified. There will be a new browser release 66.0.4 with code that does basically the same thing at startup for people that don't have shield studies enabled. Presumably, Mozilla will have all the needed certificates correctly added to the database for the 67 release, and they won't need the workaround in code.

If you did any of the workarounds where you manually altered the addons or loaded them temporarily you may have messed them up. I think at this point you would need to wait for Mozilla to re-sign all their AMO addons and you would need to reinstall them. At least I hope that isn't the case.

I'm a little concerned that my attempt last night to reinstall ublock ended up deleting ublock when it failed to install. Now that the studies fix is in, I had to grab ublock all over again, which isn't the worst thing since I only had a couple custom blocks. I would have been monumentally pissed if I had lost umatrix that way though.

If you happen to be using an older version then this method worked for me: Go to about:config Find the line that says xpinstall.signatures.required and set it to false All your addons will be immediately restored.

If you're using Firefox <48, put the keyboard down, put your hands behind your head, and slowly step away from the internet until you update your browser.

Yeah, I should have prefaced that mine is ESR and this method worked instantly but apparently that’s not the case for all versions. Apparently they’re releasing the fix for this problem on Monday for those using older versions though. Larryb fucked around with this message at 00:58 on May 5, 2019 |

Nalin posted:How does Mozilla gently caress up code-signing by not timestamping? It boggles my mind that they even allowed this to happen in the first place. They want to keep the ability to pull add-ons even after initial signing, in case malware makes it past screening (which has happened in the past). Pretty much any mechanism to authenticate add-ons is going to be vulnerable to certificate failure given that. This isn't a problem with the cert system, it did exactly what it was supposed to do. This is entirely Mozilla's fault for letting the cert expire, especially as they've chosen to take an active role in curating add-ons.

I turned on the studies, it did install the fix but nothing happened. Do I have to let it on until the add-ons are restored? Why do devs always gently caress up with certs.

I rolled my own add-on for personal use a while back and more recently reimplemented the Space Fantasy theme that once came bundled with the browser but was deleted and never updated for the new method of doing themes. Every once in a while sometime drops a review of my theme despite me never having publicised it. It's an odd feeling knowing total strangers like my fifteen minutes of work.

Losing all add-ons sucks, but ain't so bad for me on desktop. It is super loving painful to lose uBlock Origin on mobile through. I'd forgotten how bad mobile ads were.

I'm guessing this only happens if you restart Firefox? My Firefox has been running around the clock for several days now and I have had no problems with addons. I have a green update icon in the menu but I'm not touching that until this is fixed.
