How to fix Firefox addons that have been disabled by incompetent Mozilla developers.


Use this setting in about:config to fix this issue for now.

xpinstall.signatures.required
 
xpinstall.whitelist.required

That’s it. Now go and reinstall / reconfigure those addons. And for anyone on Firefox who hasn’t hit the issue yet, still do it, because you will eventually. Also, leave that drokking setting as false forever, because Mozilla is hiring more and more incompetent developers every day, so who knows when this will happen again. YTML. This goes to show that not everyone is cut out to be a developer and that quality control is going down the gurgler very quickly these days. You will need to reinstall the add-ons again, but this is not working for me at all.

I cannot even install any addons now.
I cannot even install any add-ons now.

So, if you are using Firefox on Linux, do not update, it is a broken mess right now. This is what happens when you hire useless work-experience developers.

Here it is again.

user_pref("xpinstall.signatures.required", false);
user_pref("xpinstall.whitelist.required", false);
