Heads up for Firefox user visiting Wowhead and any other sites

It should be fixed now. Mine was when I launched it an hour ago.

I checked out WoWhead with waterfox and everything seemed fine. As fine as going to WoWhead can be anyway.

My Firefox addons were all broken last night, with a message stating they could not be verified. I saw this thread before I went to bed and didn’t think much of it. Today when I hopped on my PC in the early afternoon I noticed that my addons were all back up and running. So something for me went right, I hope everyone else’s issues get resolved soon.

Yep. Guess they can’t handle people having conversations. The good thing is it’s still available from the Gab site.

I had this problem before I saw this thread. Did a quick web search, enabled

“studies” (as a couple people mentioned above.

Quit firefox, started it again and stuff was normal.

They advice you also don’t do anything (don’t reinstall, try to update manually, etc. Just hit that enable studies checkbox.)

How to do this:

about:studies

In your address bar at the top (then “learn more” to find information on doing it)

That also shows you the active studies, if you want to you can remove all of the other ones except the needed:

hotfix-update-xpi-signing-intermediate-bug-1548973•Active

This is a hotfix that updates an intermediate certificate used for signing add-ons. It is one of the mechanisms used to fix bug 1548973.

OR, in firefox:

preferences
privacy and security
ctrl f “studies”
(you have to have this checked to be able to check “studies”) “Allow firefox to send technical …”
“allow firefox to install and run studies…”

Using Firefox 67.0b16 at the moment and my extensions are working again after having been broken last night.

My addons were working fine last night. Came back an hour ago to find them all broken. Tried the “studies” thing, and nothing is working still.
