Re: Firefox add-on deprecation plan + Window 10

[J R FOX jr_fox@xxxxxxxxxx]

I am generally familiar with FF settings changes made via about:config, having done a few of them in recent years. It turns out that this setting was *already* set to "false", which must be why there were only warnings here, and not extension disablement.  I would hope to be ready with a 'Plan B', as soon as that situation changes.

  Non XyWrite but we all run a browser or two.

 

  In addition to Kari's recent post

 

  I run Mozilla "Nightly" which is updated everyday

  https://nightly.mozilla.org/   it's currently Version 43.0a1
  (2015-08-22)

 

  Recently the new signed addons "feature" was introduced which
  disabled all unsigned addons not downloaded direct from Mozilla

 

 

  Very soon all Firefox users will face their addons being blocked
  from running unless signed directly from Mozilla

 

  To fix this

 

  In about:config     search for "signatures" and make it FALSE 
  (double click "true")  All your addons will happily return (for now)

 

  xpinstall.signatures.required;false   was true  on 2015 Aug 12
