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.

Oh relax. A cert expired. An intermediate cert at that...

This has probably happened to every major cloud provider and countless companies at least once. Certs are hard.

Should Mozilla have had monitoring on their cert expiration? Yes. Will they after this? Probably. Is any one person ever at fault for something like this? No.

Firefox is an open source project. You're welcome to contribute and make things better.

Well no because they won't accept a patch that lets us plebs turn off the signed extension requirement.

The Developer edition allows that just fine.
