What a spectacular failure... it's hours later, and still not working. The only thing firefox has going for itself stopped working. Already one family member and one friend switched to chrome.

Just switch for a day. You're making this out to be a much bigger issue than it has the capacity to be.

NoScript and uBlock Origin have stopped working. This opens up a LOT of attack surface for malicious hackers.

If this isn't a critical security issue, what is?

The Container extension is no longer working. I'm logged out of mostly everything. There are few sites I don't want to open without container.

Exactly my use case. Already installed chromium-ungoogled and am using a judicious amount of profiles to emulate this. Still not as nice as what the Container extension do, unfortunately.

Update - Container data is lost post addons recovery (I installed Nightly build). This is ridiculous.

My Firefox usage will be so unproductive for few days. I had around 6-8 containers for different purpose, and somehow I'm habitual to using shortcut to launch a container and open whatever I'm supposed to (e.g I've access to 3 different AWS account, and I tend to press shortcut key to launch the relevant container tab)
