First they force code signing on everyone without a way to disable it then they break it. This is an extreme level of incompetence I didn't expect from Mozilla.

They'd better have the best post mortum ever, possibly with someone being fired.

Why does someone need to be fired? Does some blood spilled really make it better? Have some compassion.

I'm generally not a fan of firing people for making mistakes. This one is so monumental it may require it though. This breaks most FF installations.

You didn't answer my question. What does firing achieve? You fire a person who learnt their lesson and will never make the mistake again? And then hire someone new?

Or you fire the scapegoat because of a broken system that allowed one person to make a mistake?

If this mistake was due to incompetence then the person should be fired. Incompetence shouldn't be tolerated.

But we're outsiders looking in and don't know what's going on at this point. That's why I used the qualifier "possibly." It's quite possibly it wasn't incompetence.

“quite possible”
