Hi, it looks like Firefox just had a major issue with an expired certificate,
causing it to automatically disable all add-ons and preventing the installation
of new ones.

Would it be possible to push out an urgent update to the Tumbleweed Updates
repo? Or any other temporary workaround recommended for openSUSE users?
