Details

We will soon have 2 add-ons that we want to make available for manual download / user installation. They will fix the add-on certificate issue. We would like to point to this hosting location from blogs and to get the fix, for users who have not received the fix through other channels.

  1. system add-on with certificate fix for users on Firefox 52-60. This add-on will also go out through balrog, but there are always some users that will not be reached that way. We want a place they can go to manually download the fix.

  2. system add-on with certificate fix for users on Firefox 61-current. Most users on these versions have the primary fix path of upgrading to most recent version firefox. This add-on will not go through balrog (yet, may decide to later).

SUMO can't host files other than images and videos. If you host it on AMO, SUMO can link to the AMO page from the article.

Determined to post on AMO and SUMO will reference the fixes in AMO. Because the browser evolves over time - there were 3 separate extensions needed to deliver the fixes needed for different Firefox versions.

These extension will install a new security certificate and re-enable extensions and themes for:

Firefox 52-56 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disabled-add-on-fix-52-56/ bug 1551289
Firefox 57-60 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disabled-add-on-fix-57-60/ bug 1551291
Firefox 61-65 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disabled-add-on-fix-61-65/ bug 1551290

For earlier versions of Firefox (pre-52) the Firefox 52-56 extension fix on AMO has not been widely tested on pre-52 versions of Firefox, but has been reported to work on some machines. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disabled-add-on-fix-52-56/
