Setting xpinstall.signatures.required to false fixed it.
It worked in the newest version of fennec-fdroid on android, which is currently 66.0.2. Debian is 60.6.1esr and was never affected(?). Xubuntu's at work with the latest version, so I may have simply missed the event. I guess I'll find out Monday.Only if you are running an fairly old version of Firefox. They removed the functionality. Although it sounds like they are (because of this) bringing it back in nightly.
Mozilla is a bunch of fuckups, yes.
AMEN!Mozilla removing options for 'the user's benefit' is arrogant. Making certain options default is the developers prerogative, but they should never come at the expense of the user's wishes.
Studies fix does work. Updated in about 30 seconds.
This was obviously not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but think about all those viruses that just spread via ads/scripts in that time.
Part of the whole reason to be against the whole everything has to be attached and out of your control mentality in the name of 'ease of use'.
Mozilla forgot to update a certificate, all add-ons automatically disabled
I just checked for updates and 66.0.4 is now out. No more ads! Shame on those websites that call you out for using an ad-blocker... the internet is horrible without one.
Having worked with a number of them over the years, I'm more amazed than anything worksOof. Wink did this a few years ago, bricked a bunch of smarthomes: (including mine!)

SPOF is a difficult thing to deal with, especially as many companies lack a good internal tracking system for simple things like that.
Regarding IT infrastructure, you'd be amazed at how many Fortune 500 companies are built on an house of cards. Plus countless other companies. And it's only gonna get worse, not better, in the future!
I'm a web developer, and I don't use Chrome because it's not as good as Firefox, so YMMV.I'm shocked that so many people even use Firefox. As a web developer, Chrome is far superior, although I have heard that Firefox has somewhat caught up with Chrome in more recent times. At least the days of Firebug are over.

You must not use the dev tools at all then, because Chrome's are much much better, but as I mentioned, Firefox has caught up somewhat.Having worked with a number of them over the years, I'm more amazed than anything works

I use FF on mobile because adblockers don't work on mobile chrome, at least not last time I tried to use them. I don't use it on desktops though.I'm shocked that so many people even use Firefox.

I used the javascript console a lot over the years. Never used Firebug, no.You must not use the dev tools at all then, because Chrome's are much much better, but as I mentioned, Firefox has caught up somewhat.
I don't understand how one can do development and not use the dev tools. I'm assuming you just use console.log to debug values and stuff then. I've converted so many people over the years who did that because it's such a bad way to debug.I used the javascript console a lot over the years. Never used Firebug, no.
Mostly been doing .Net web apps, so just setting breakpoints, or adding robust error logging to provide debug info after the app has been deployed.I don't understand how one can do development and not use the dev tools.
