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.

A mistake of this magnitude cannot be the fault of an individual, because if it was, then the organization lacked adequate safeguards.

What I'd like to see is a post-mortem, followed by an explanation of how they'll prevent the mistake from being made again in future.

This could have been prevented by someone putting the expiration date on the team shared calendar with a 60 day alert.
