Nope, in my case they just randomly got disabled while I was in the middle of browsing normally. Apparently a fix should be out for this by tomorrow 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.

I did this after all my stuff vanished and it instantly fixed it for me. I'm using ESR.

felt weirdly naked for those 5 minutes with no addons.

Why do devs always gently caress up with certs. :(

I think if you started with the goal of a thing designed to fall through the cracks in an org chart, certs is what you'd come up with.

They have a due date, but they are varied and you are could be dealing with stuff that expires in 3 years or every 3 months. They're a security feature, but not necessarily managed by the security team itself (they often have more important things on their plate). It's a menial task, but limited to a small number of people who are trusted with private keys that need to stay totally secure. They're invisible when they work correctly, but loving up can have really bad consequences.

Yep.

Also nobody ever wants to put in a system that will start complaining about certs before they expire, in increasingly loud ways.

Finding out which random things they changed for no reason is my favorite part of having to update firefox, oh you sometimes used the reload all tabs thing in the right click menu? Yeah that's gone now, still got that close all tabs to the right option though! Also I had my mouse setup so the dpi button would cycle through the open tabs, now it just switches between the last two viewed, awesome

Ditto with bookmark all tabs.

Gotta chose "select all tabs" first before you do either.

Why, yes, I love it when my software adds in extra steps for no goddamn reason. Thank you.

No, no. Don't you see? They needed that Send tab to Device entry there but could not for any reason at all possibly add another entry into the list. 12 is the absolute max. So something has to go.

First they got rid of all the close things, putting those in a submenu until everyone screamed at them and then we kind of got those options back. But I still don't understand what use a 'close tabs to the right' button is without also having one for 'to the left.' Or, you know, why you would ever want to close only the tabs on the right, where you're most likely to find the tabs you've yet to read.

Unbranded build trip report: Upgraded the unbranded build to 66.0.4 and my extensions aren't showing as unverified any longer. I almost feel safe enough to switch back to the branded build (but not just yet).

I accidentally hit that drat thing so often in one of the menus that I had to add a bit to userchrome to hide it. I'm glad it's gone.

edit: You can still 'select all tabs' 'reload tabs' now; it's an extra step but it 100% beats accidentally reloading everything.

Can you bind it to ctrl+pgup or ctrl+pgdown?

I used the logitech software that came with my mouse, it set it to ctrl+tab which seems to work different now

It was really cool when my response to whatever the brilliant new UI innovation coming from moz was "whatever, I'll get an extension to revert that poo poo."




Though re: ctrl+tab there's an option for that in settings.

New tabs at end rather than after current seems to have been exiled to about :config though.

Literally the only reason I still use Firefox is its the only browser out there that still lets me have tabs at the bottom of the screen, just above the task bar. Every update they make it harder to keep them down there.

Why though? Why would you want new tabs to open anywhere but the end, unless you drag the link to the specific spot you want it to appear?
That and the presence of "close tabs to the right" with no "... to the left" equivalent are things I'll never understand.

And now when I middle-click to open a video, it doesn't start playing on its own. I would love it if when they change something on a whim, they'd add a button in options to undo that change.

The best is when they make a random change that'll no-doubt interfere with a huge amount of people's workflows and then double-down on it by also making sure to remove the about:config switch that governs it. Especially when it was just an option in the menu beforehand.

I was just about to complain about this, too. It's too bad this got pushed right when their certificates expired because I thought something was broken.

Good feature, but maybe they should've added youtube as a default exception.

It's a context thing, tabs generated by the current page appear immediately next to the tab so they're visually grouped.
