I have Firefox 43.0. For some odd reason, many of my add-ons decided not to work (just starting today) because I got a message from Firefox that they were not signed by Mozilla. Will someone be uploading a signed version of TiddlyFox in the near future? I find it very useful.

Thanks.

Its essential it always works & is signed. Its a bit of a burden on TW developers as the Firefox approval system is a pain. But it has always worked for me (now on 46.0.1, on PC). the latest is here ...

TiddlyFox is signed by Mozilla as part of the distribution process. It may be that the updated way of signing extensions that they recently introduced only works on recent versions of FF.

Best wishes

I see there's a new FF today (47) and one of the mentioned changes is in add-on compatibility:

I'm reluctant to upgrade without some confidence TiddlyFox will continue to work. Any insights?

Thanks!

One thing I've done is keep a copy of an older, portable version (portableapps.com) of firefox as extra insurance. If the update doesn't work, I have an older copy of firefox I can fall back on.
