Firefox screwup

[coda coder]

Just an FYI for those using addons to save tiddlywiki (e.g. Timimi). Mozilla have screwed up some kind of background installation overnight which killed pretty much all addons in Firefox.

If you are affected or think you might be, read this:

In particular, pay attention to the information about Studies and make sure it is enabled to receive the imminent hotfix.

That's it from me at the scene, we now return you back to the studio. Jeremy?

I posted about this 8 hours ago "[OT] Fox Apocalypse Deux"

For me, the "fix" didn't work. Possibly because I used the OverNight build. FF removed all the extensions EXCEPT for the ones that I had disabled.

Now I'm trying to recall what extensions I had and re-install them one by one.

After this, I think I'm going to have a look at Vivaldi. What does it say about the competence of an organization if they can neglect renewing a certificate -- a certificate that they had forced developers to use in the first place?

I did do a search on Firefox Mark, didn't show up. Believe me, I don't need to be doing this.

Anyway, here's the hotfix if you don't want to wait 6+ hours or enable "Studies"
