[Bug 1134127] New: Firefox certificate issue causing add-ons to be disabled
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1134127 Bug ID: 1134127 Summary: Firefox certificate issue causing add-ons to be disabled Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Factory Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox Assignee: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: sb56637@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- 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. https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/certificate-issue-causing-add-ons-to-be-disa... (Site currently under heavy traffic or something, doesn't always load.)
Certificate issue causing add-ons to be disabled or fail to install:
12:50 p.m. UTC / 03:50 a.m. PDT: We rolled-out a fix for release, beta and nightly users on Desktop. The fix will be automatically applied in the background within the next few hours, you don’t need to take active steps.
In order to be able to provide this fix on short notice, we are using the Studies system. You can check if you have studies enabled by going to Firefox Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Allow Firefox to install and run studies.
You can disable studies again after your add-ons have been re-enabled.
We are working on a general fix that doesn’t need to rely on this and will keep you updated.
Would it be possible to push out an urgent update to the Tumbleweed Updates repo? Or any other temporary workaround recommended for openSUSE users? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yes, I understand that this is an upstream Firefox issue, but I was under the impression that they already fixed it.
We rolled-out a fix for release, beta and nightly users on Desktop.
So, is the "fix" that they mentioned in my previous link related to the Studies thing, and not a permanent fix? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

From the discussion at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1548973 I understand that it is fixed on short notice by enabling/disabling studies, but they "are working on a general fix that doesn’t need to rely on this and will keep you updated."

Based on that, it looks like enabling "Studies" for Firefox is the best option right now, I confirm that it works: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1548973#c60 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
