Thread: Add-ons not working due to certificate expiration

Unless those extensions synced their options to your Firefox account (and it wasn’t deleted there yet) or you manually exported their settings via an in-addon option, sadly no.

I see. Thanks for the reply.

Too bad though as I didn’t think to backup their settings first because they were disabled anyway.
Here’s hoping for the cloud backup. Do you know how long does it take before the backup also deleted from the server?

Thank you.

So, I have both hotfixes installed through active studies and still nothing. What am I missing?

Does anyone have any idea as to why the hot fix is not showing up for me in about:studies?

Looks like the hotfix itself has some bugs (tracked in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1549078).
Think you should wait for the non-studies hotfix as community workarounds are not recommended.

Ok, christantoan, thanks. Sounds like a good idea to wait. Hope it’s fixed soon

Still not fixed. :rage:

Please sort this out ASAP.

SJW, content blocking now seems to be working for all windows. Thanks for the help

add ons are back for me. Hoping everyone is back to normal soon

Nope, still buggered.

Download failed. Please check your connection.

Tried three different Add-ons. Still get the following error.

Download failed. Please check your connection.

Downloaded the files via Chrome, then tried installing manually and it still doesn’t work.

Have you checked about:studies as explained in the blogpost to ensure the fix has actually arrived in your Firefox?

i will not enable studies and will not permit firefox to collect and study private data.

Contemplating uninstalling Firefox.
