Update: We have rolled out a partial fix for this issue. We generated a new intermediate certificate with the same name/key but an updated validity window and pushed it out to users via Normandy (this should be most users). Users who have Normandy on should see their add-ons start working over the next few hours. We are continuing to work on packaging up the new certificate for users who have Normandy disabled.

Thanks! Do you know how many active users were affected by this certificate error and subsequent addon disabling? I guess most users were spared due to the timing and short duration of the error.

Their system runs a check every 24 hours. So a lot of users were affected. They've rolled out a partial fix via their Normandy thingy, and according to them it will fix the issue for most people over the next couple of hours.
