Firefox extensions do not work, no more cert legacy for add-ons.

(1/6) > >>

Does this mean the end of Mozilla's Firefox?
In the firefox browser and also for instance in Cliqz not a single one of the add-ons will work.
No more extensions, not a single one allowed.

A golden day for those that strive for Google chromium supremacy
or mono-culture of the chromium browser forks.

No more NoScript, no more adblockers, no more LastPass.
They may have to upgrade all of the browser with what results?

How many run of the mill end-users will now switch to Google Chrome, Brave, Iridium etc,
because of this fiasco?

What will the certification war, bring us further? Problems for Kaspersky, Huawei?
Symantec is not a player anymore in the field of certification,
Let's Encrypt has many advantages,
but also has lowered the bar for cybercrime, scam, spam & fraud,
and other (political) manipulation.

Anyone to comment?

Hi, it's a known FF bug, see: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1548973

polonus:
Hi Asyn,

It is not bringing them Mozilla developers fame, and Google chromium staff will giggle about so much stupidity.

Haven´t seen a comment from Firefox users here like DavidR etc., certainly a pain in the proverbial parts of the body. ::)

It is also striking there is no general news about this mozilla add-ons mishap,
no news on the Reg and other main tech news outlets.
Silence reigns big time...

The problem was first expected to appear from May 10th henceon,
but now has reared it's head world-wide already when world clock struck 0:01 on May 4th 2019.

There is a work-around fix available via Firefox studies account,
but that is probably to complicated for the average user to install.

Beyond belief actually while Mozilla developers implemented this in such a  way (date depending),
they have to come up with an emergency browser update now to fix this add-on Daemmerung  ;) ,
and we do not know what further implications that may have.

P.S. And this bug now has a proper name "Armag-add-on 2.0"  ;D
