A certificate problem disabled many essential addons (and prevents from installing new ones). Does this mean that Mozilla can suddenly break my favorite tools?
This morning a certificate problem disabled many essential add-ons (and prevents from installing new ones). Does this mean that Mozilla can suddenly break my favourite tools? Any time and for any unknown duration? If the answer is yes I must absolutely find another more reliable web browser, or a Firefox version that works reliably. Does it exist? Is there a Firefox version, recent enough to support recent extensions, but where security is not an insurmountable obstacle? Ideally, with absolutely no security features depending on unpredictable external services?

hi, the issue was caused by an expired certificate used in the process of validating addon signatures, so nothing that was changed by remote (though mozilla also has the ability to blocklist particular addons - this is only used for malicious addons though: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/AMO/Blocking_Process)
mozilla is starting to fix the current problem by rolling out a hotifx to affected installations already...
