Steps to reproduce:
I was affected by bug 1548973.
Actual results:
The bug was closed, bu tit's unclear what had been done to prevent it from happening again. Comments on bug 1548973 are not allowed, so I had to star ta new one.
Bug 1548973 caused Firefox to disable all pluigins while running without asking the user what to do.
Expected results:
In case some plugin cannot be verified any more in the future, Firefox should display a message like this (salt and pepper added):
"Your plugin {plugin} could not be verified any more due to {reason}. Should your plugin be disabled as we did last time, possibly harming your security and/or privacy, or would you like to continue using {plugin} despite of this problem?" ({xxx} are obvious placeholders.)

This is not an actionable bug.
The repercussions of 1548973 are pretty clear to Mozilla writ large. This is not a single thing that can be solved as a bug. As there is an internal review of everything about this ongoing, I'm closing this report in favor of whatever solution the internal review demands.

(In reply to David Durst [:ddurst] from comment #2)
This is not an actionable bug.
Actually I think it is: In the past all plugins suddenly were disabled without a proper reason being given AND without asking the user for a choice whether to disable all the plugins, or to continue using them.
So nothing is to be done as a consequence?
