I'm not convinced that mozilla-nss is the whole cause of this issue. I also had a leap 15.5 system which was fully updated yesterday, that brought mozilla-nss and associated packages to V3.98 - That system was updated and then switched off, so I had not used firefox since the update. On that system I downgraded mozilla-nss, mozilla-nss-certs, libsoftokn3 and libfreebl3 to 3.97 Currently installed: paul@HP255G7:~> zypper se -i -sx -t package MozillaFirefox mozilla-nss mozilla-nss-certs libsoftokn3 libfreebl3 Loading repository data...

The most recent changes to the `crypto-policies` package introduced in Bug 1211301 broke Firefox. Looking at this package, it seems `sha1` is now disabled in `nss` via a policy file. Unfortunately, this breaks Firefox because Firefox is configured to verify both signatures in add-ons (PKCS#7+SHA1 and COSE+SHA256). openSUSE's CI didn't catch this regression because tests seem to be running without the policies applied [4]. It is worth noting that add-ons have been dual-signed for many years. In fact, Redhat folks experienced a very similar situation in 2020 [5]. We are working on removing the SHA-1 verification entirely but that will take time. I would suggest updating the `crypto-policies` package to revert the NSS policy support temporarily.

Tumbleweed 3.97 installed yesterday by discover

export NSS_IGNORE_SYSTEM_POLICY=1

has no effect.

problem still here and i can't install any extension.

Where/How do you set this variable? Typing it in a terminal window and starting Firefox from the menu has no effect! You should try this in a terminal window: export NSS_IGNORE_SYSTEM_POLICY=1; firefox & If that works, put the export NSS_IGNORE_SYSTEM_POLICY=1 into ~/.profile logout and login again. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

...

The DEFAULT policy in crypto-policies does not allow SHA-1 signatures but the LEGACY one does allow it. Could somebody test if switching to LEGACY helps?:

...
sudo update-crypto-policies --set LEGACY

Note that, this command is shipped by the crypto-policies-scripts package.

If it help, I would force using the LEGACY policy only in mozilla-nss by default for now in crypto-policies and submit in a moment.

TIA

Using a new Firefox profile with "update-crypto-policies" unchanged: Unable to install extension "Installation aborted because the add-on appears to be corrupt." Using a new Firefox profile after "update-crypto-policies --set LEGACY": extensions install correctly. Using a new Firefox profile after resetting crypto policy "update-crypto-policies --set DEFAULT": Unable to install extension "Installation aborted because the add-on appears to be corrupt." -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Launch Firefox with 'NSS_IGNORE_SYSTEM_POLICY=1 firefox' * Do not uninstall any extensions! * Instead, re-install everything you had previously installed on top of your old extensions * This should keep your extension settings (uBlock, password managers etc.) 2. Downgrade mozilla-nss and libsoftokn3 * zypper in --oldpackage mozilla-nss=3.79.4-150400.3.29.1 * zypper in --oldpackage libsoftokn3=3.79.4-150400.3.29.1 3. Prevent upgrades to those two packages for now: * zypper al 'libsoftokn3<=3.79.4' * zypper al 'libsoftokn3<=3.79.4' 4. Start Firefox with 'firefox --allow-downgrade' * Since you downgraded Firefox together with mozilla-nss, your profile is newer than your (now) installed Firefox. * Even though Firefox warns about possible corruptions, for me nothing broke. YMMV, though. 5. Now you can use firefox like you used to (without any command line parameters and with all extensions). 6. Keep an eye on this bugzilla to see if you can remove the package locks. I think this might be the best option without completely disabling security checks. Sure, it keeps an obsolete version of NSS. But the other two options seem to be to either disable extension signature checks completely or to not use Firefox extensions for now. Once the issue is fully resolved, you can remove the locks with 'zypper rl libsoftokn3' and 'zypper rl mozilla-nss' and perform a regular (dist-)upgrade. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Additionally: With crypto policies set to legacy and after forcing FF to validate add on signature(s) by setting "app.update.lastUpdateTime.xpi-signature-verification" = 0 and restarting FF, upon restart signature verification is OK. (One can check that verification has indeed taken place by looking at the value of "app.update.lastUpdateTime.xpi-signature-verification"). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

...

Quick update: All NSS packages I'm aware of now have crypto-policies disabled again. Therefore locking or going back/or stay with 3.97 is not required anymore.

The relevant support will be added later again.

Just to confirm: Leap 15.5 updated mozilla-nss etc to 3.98-lp155.2.1 - all now appears OK, addons can be installed, forced signature verification succeeds. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Leap uses Firefox ESR by default. To get newer ones user needs to add Mozilla repo: zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_Leap_15.5/mozill... Package mozilla-nss 3.98-lp155.1.2 was retracted. Newer mozilla-nss 3.98-lp155.2.1 solves problems with addons. I didn’t touch FF 123 for a couple of days, used FF ESR. After installing mozilla-nss 3.98-lp155.2.1 for Leap 15.5 addons for FF 123 started to work without reinstall, for FF ESR I made uninstall + install to get rid of warnings (with losing settings). For some addons you can perform Backup + Restore settings (NoScript, uBlock Origin, etc.). Soon we will get FF 124, possible it will help with addons troubles. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
