1549040 - Add-ons marked as old Add-ons types through Update from 66.0.2 to 66.0.3

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1548973

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Andrea]

Attachment: Screenshots.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0

Steps to reproduce:

I have two Add-ons installed.
"Auto reload tab" and "NoScript"
Firefox updated itself from 66.02 to 66.03.

Actual results:

An update to Firefox 66.0.3 happend.

Both mentioned Add-ons are now displayed as old Add-on-types.
I understand it als if Firefox thinks they are not "WebExtensions" AddOns.
But they obviously are, aren't they?

I attach some screenshots.

And by the way: Even the link to the releasenotes of 66.0.3 is not showing when clicking on the link in the "about popup of firefox".

Expected results:

The Add-ons should just work :-)

You can use this script to enable your installed extensions. And if that doesn't activate all your extensions, just remove this:

if (!addon._sourceBundle.exists())
                continue;

It worked for me :)

What is "Normandy fix" and what does it entail?
Was this "expiration" a clever and sinister trick to get more tracking added to the user's systems?

Overall, this travesty demonstrates how irresponsible the "open source" projects, including Mozilla, have become, where they completely disrespect their user base and hold us with contempt. BOO!
