You say security is high on the list and I like my privacy. Why do I have to enable studies to get back what I had before? Sorry but that's bullshit.

If I choose an add-on you can't take it away. Send me hotfix-reset-xpi-verification-timestampe-1548973 or I'm going back to chrome or IE.

Hi

Enabling Studies is the fastest way to potentially fix your add-ons. If not, Firefox will still work without add-ons until the more complete fix is rolled out as an update very soon.

Try installing this "hot-fix" extension to get the fix that Mozilla has done.

There was a Bug-A-Boo with a Certificate Expiration Date dealing with the Add-ons. There's a new FF Version with the main Fix, 66.0.4.

Mozilla Blog Post Update:
A Firefox release has been pushed — version 66.0.4 on Desktop and Android, and version 60.6.2 for ESR. This release repairs the certificate chain to re-enable web extensions, themes, search engines, and language packs that had been disabled (Bug 1549061).
There are remaining issues that we are actively working to resolve, but we wanted to get this fix out before Monday to lessen the impact of disabled add-ons before the start of the week. More information about the remaining issues can be found by clicking on the links to the release notes above.
