Firefox Disables All Add-Ons due to Pesky Certificate

Firefox users may have noticed that some of their add-ons/extensions have suddenly stopped working today.

Under the extensions tab Firefox displays “could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled”. According to Mozilla’s bug tracker, this is actually a bug and is explained as “all add-ons are disabled due to the expiration of intermediate signing certificate”.

This issue occurred at 5 AM (local time) or 12 AM GMT/UTC, all thanks to the above mentioned bug.

The affected extensions include LastPass, Ghostery, Download Manager (S3), Dark Mode, Honey, uBlock Origin, Greasemonkey, NoScript, and others. The affected extensions have completely stopped working and cannot be re-downloaded from the store.

Temporary Fix

Currently, the only solution to this issue is to either find a replacement or just remove the affected extensions. However, if you use the Firefox developer or Nightly Build, there is a temporary solution. Look under about:config and set the “xpinstall.signatures.required” value to false. Some users have reported that this fix resolves the issue temporarily.

If you’re on a different version of Firefox, you’ll have to enable add-on debugging and will have to manually load each extension’s .xpi file each time you start the browser.

Firefox is working on resolving this issue. There is no ETA for a fix yet.

Apple Violated its Own Rules for News+ App

Big companies like Google, Apple, and Facebook have been known to adopt anti-competitive practices to maintain their dominance on the market. A recent case that came forward is Apple violating its own App Store’s rules for its News+ app. For starters, let’s look at the rules: The developer should clearly state how long will the trial last as well as the price that will be billed. The users should be notified that the subscription fee will be automatically deducted from the provided account. The amount that will be deducted should be written clearly. The user should be given links to support and privacy policy. According to Apple’s guidelines, the above rules (which are a fraction of iOS application development rules) make sure the buyer is not misled. Now let’s look at the sign-up page of Apple new+ application. When the “try it free” button is clicked, the user is directly taken to the billing page without getting notified about the subs...
