Which browser do you use?
Still waiting for the studies to do literally anything.
I enabled studies a while ago and there are only two there under Completed Studies, neither of which is the hotfix.

Nevermind Mozilla fixed this
Ironic because for me it only broke after you edited this in.

Yea I was wondering what the deal with that was. Got the notification yesterday when Firefox killed my Ublock Origin plugin. Adds, adds everywhere :(

I removed it and try to install again but now it say something about Fail to Download. Check your connection (Falló la descarga. Comprueba tu conexión.)
Im using ABP but is not the same.

I still have problem as i use older FF. I wonder if this certificate problem will be resolved (and how much it will take) or only this new patches in new version of FF will help.
I still use FF 56.0.2 and use some old extensions, like this:
If it will not be fixed I will have to move to new (and worse but more secure) FF version or change browser :/ - dont know which option will choose

If you want to use the older Firefox version it is better to use a fork. The forks are more insecure than Firefox by design (if they're not based on Quantum) but at least they're up to date.

Just started to make some tries to move to new version, but after I copied my old profile and backup old FF and made a update from old version it was bloody mess (even page with extensions was broken - like bad loaded page, also did not saw some extensions like uBlock on extension lists, but did not have any advertises on pages = I guess update was corrupted. I will try to install fresh version of FF later and give a chance, but even a look of new FF is not rappelling for me (at last for now ;).
Now returned to 56.0.2
EDIT: Moved to Waterfox for now - It is possible to use firefox 56 but need to run script first.

I think ublock in particular needs to be updated manually (uninstall older version and reinstall the webextensions one) because of the new kind of addons since the Quantum branch was imposed.

Just for infor, if you're using an older version or a portable version and nothing else works,
setting xpinstall.signatures.required to False in about:config and that fixed it for me. No restart needed.

Thank you! That worked for me like a charm. I'm on 56.0.b9 developer edition. I was confused what happened.

Yes uBlock Origins stop workings for me. I did not know what happen and delete it, and now i cant install it again.

its almost like they dont want people using firefox anymore. if they hate the burden of updating their browser, why dont they just stop? what is this fascination by mozilla to drive people away first?
Comment has been collapsed.
I hate what they with Quantum, lots of add on stop to works, one of my favorites specially, DownThemAll, best download manager by far.

Canary Edge is good alternative if people want to give it a try.
I have both Firefox and Canary installed (no Chrome in my system) so after this fuckup I can still browse normally. Web's so worse without addons. Ugh.

I am pretty surprised how many people are using Firefox actually.

Haha, my thoughts! Then again, this is a discussion with Firefox in the title, so it maybe just attracted more Firefox users?
Hard to tell lol :S

I'm not because this poll is under a Firefox issue title. Chrome users probably don't even read it. :)
Also appreciated the poll with so many options. Still, there is no W3M or eLinks though, haha.

Another fix, for those who have disabled studies and thus can't receive the hotfix: https://paste.debian.net/1081550/
What it does it installs the updated certificate from the hotfix, then re-runs a signature check on all add-ons.

Use Google Chrome and Firefox. Google Chrome for school and mobile, Firefox for home and Microsoft Edge for PDF files.

It was shitty of Mozilla to require Studies to be enabled in order to receive the fix. It could be sidestepped, but that shouldn't have been a requirement.
As for the poll, I used Firefox until 3.6, then the 4.0 debacle had me switch to Chrome and I've been on that until recently.
About 5 weeks ago I went back to Firefox, but I'm not happy with it. It's slow and the UI is cluttered, nowhere near as polished, streamlined and efficient as Chrome's. The profile manager is still the same crud from over 20 years ago?
I was in the process of switching to Opera, after the Addonpocalypse, but their repository is missing things like Augmented Steam and uMatrix is an out-of-date version that won't import my settings.
So I'm currently again on Firefox until I figure out what to do next.

Sure, I'll do that, too.
I'm not a huge fan of the Presto era Opera Vivaldi devs seem so nostalgic of, though. Mind, it was a decent browser at the time, but these days the formula seems well buried and not worth resurrecting.
I've heard good things about the browser nonetheless.

Editing the extensions.json was pretty easy and fast.

Firefox has some pros, but in terms of speed and memory usage, despite the "general consensus" that Chrome is a memory hog, I've yet to see a browser as fast and light as Chrome.

I use Brave for everyday use. I tried to use Firefox a few different times but its just so slow on my PC for some reason. It's running the same extensions as Brave so I dunno.

If anyone got their addons disabled in Firefox here's fix
It just works
Nevermind Mozilla fixed this, you can delete this certificate
