I recently read the article about the root certificate expiration and the updates related to it (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/root-certificate-expiration ). I wanted to understand whether my add-ons will be affected because of this. Types of add-ons which i have 1) Simple searchOverride functionality 2) Simple functionality that communicates with remote APIs to display some data.

Hi Ruben

My understanding is that add-on developers do not need to do anything. The change is being made in Firefox and you are not expected to have to make any changes to your add-ons.

(I have made a few add-ons myself..!)

Yes, but then a few doubts : 1) Will I lose all my users on both type of add-ons if users don't update the browser? 2) Assuming the add-on is disabled because the user failed to update browser on time, what will happen if the users updates it later? Will the add-on automatically get enabled?
