I'm running Firebug 2.0.9 in both Mac and Windows, Firefox 37.0.2.

or two or three days now, in my Extensions update window (on the Mac side), I've been seeing a listing for "Firebug 2.0.9.1-signed Update". What's a "signed update"? Anyway, every time I click to accept it, there's a progress bar and then an error message that says "There was an error downloading Firebug" and a "Try Again" link. If I click it, the same thing happens.

What's this about?

The signing has been done automatically for Firebug (by AMO) and didn't work well, so it's been reverted again.
