It's pathetic to see the attitude demonstrated by Mozilla support on this.

Bug 1548973 (armagadd-on-2.0) All extensions disabled due to expiration of intermediate signing cert NEW Unassigned (Needinfo from 3 people)

Kevin Brosnan [:kbrosnan]

We have confirmed this issue. Extra comments about this being broken will not advance this bug to being fixed.[2]

Mozilla just left their entire user base unprotected against ads, trackers, and some hostile code. Then they insult their users.

Undoing the damage is hard. First, they have to update their signing certificate. Then they have to re-sign all the add-ons. Then users have to reload all the addons. Then, something users won't do - remove all the tracking cookies, etc. that slipped in while Firefox was broken.

Don't exaggerate. It's a critical bug now and they are working on it.

Let them work on it
