Firefox affected by bug that disables all the browser's extensions

Those who use the latest version of Firefox (66.6) may have noticed that their usual extensions have disappeared. This is due to a bug in this browser in which an expired certificate gives the impression that all of these add-ons are corrupt. Mozilla has stated that a fix is being rolled out at present.

InconvenienceP No they just flat broke Firefox. They don't even have native an mhtml or pdf save capability.

I don't see this as a bug as much as a really poor decision made by Firefox to require certificate authentication for all add-ons at times after time of install. I get why they include certificate authentication, as that cuts down on malware. But requiring certificates to check in after the extension has already been installed? Bad form, Firefox.
