1549898 - Key addons still disabled in older version of firefox, one hotfix completed, one never received

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1549604

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[noneyabeeswx]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0

Steps to reproduce:

Key addons such as ALL adblocking addons (adblock plus, ublock origin, and ghostery) are still disabled by the mozilla certificate problem from a few days ago, which resulted in active good addons being automatically disabled with the error message "could not be verified for use with firefox and has been disabled."

I'm using windows 10 with firefox 56.0.2 - which I've kept specifically because some addons I use extensively weren't/aren't available in the newer version of Firefox.

When this first happened, I did not have "studies" enabled. I enabled that, and after some time and several browser restarts, finally got the hotfix-update-xpi-signing-intermediate-bug-1548973 which was shown as "active" for a very long time, but today has changed to complete.

I never got the hotfix-reset-xpi-verification-timestamp-1548973 study, however.

Actual results:

My addons are still disabled, including at least ublock origin, adblock plus, ghostery, font finder, tab hunter, behind the overlay, and tin eye reverse image search. Notew, I'd had all of those active BUT adblock plus and ghostery - I was just using ublock origin and the other two I had disabled. But all are showing up now as unverifiable and therefore disabled, leaving me with zero options for an adblocker, which is causing huge problems for me with using firefox. Not to mention I regularly use the other addons which are now disabled also.

Expected results:

Apparently I should have gotten two studies rather than just the one, and the diabled addons should have been restored to working condition.

I've found nothing from bugzilla or mozilla telling us what to do if we don't get one of the studies - or if this problems for those of us using older versions of firefox will be fixed and when that's expected.
