I do not work for Mozilla, and I am posting this thread entirely based on my own personal understanding of what's going on. Here's what's going on with your Add-ons being disabled, and how to work around the issue until its fixed.įirstly, as always, r/Firefox is not run by or affiliated with Mozilla.

My add-ons page shows the add-on being 'deactivated' but they appear to be on and working. It is one of the mechanisms used to fix bug 1548973. This is a hotfix that updates an intermediate certificate used for signing add-ons. Hotfix-update-xpi-signing-intermediate-bug-1548973 When I click the 'View Firefox studies' link in the Privacy & Security page I see one that: I have this enabled on mine and I don't think I'm using the beta or nightly builds. We are working on a general fix that doesn’t need to rely on this and will keep you updated. You can disable studies again after your add-ons have been re-enabled. You can check if you have studies enabled by going to Firefox Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Allow Firefox to install and run studies. In order to be able to provide this fix on short notice, we are using the Studies system. The fix will be automatically applied in the background within the next few hours, you don’t need to take active steps. PDT: We rolled-out a fix for release, beta and nightly users on Desktop. to-be-disabled-or-fail-to-install/39047Ĭertificate issue causing add-ons to be disabled or fail to install:ġ2:50 p.m. Getting extensions back for everyone is going to require Mozilla to issue a patch.įrom that it sounds like AdBlocker Ultimate shouldn't be working for me but it is. Because the glitch stems from an underlying certificate, re-installing extensions won't work - if you try, you'll likely just be met with a different error message. Each extension is now being listed as a 'legacy' extension, alongside a warning that it 'could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled.' A ticket submitted to Mozilla's Bugzilla bug tracker first hit at around 5:40 PM Pacific, and suggests the sudden failure is due to a code signing certificate built into the browser that expired just after 5 PM (or midnight on May 4th in UTC time).

Reports are pouring in of a glitch that has spontaneously disabled effectively all Firefox extensions. Did you just open Firefox only to find all of your extensions disabled and/or otherwise not working? You're not alone, and it's nothing you did.
