Firefox disables add-ons
Fired up Firefox this morning and discovered that all my add-ons were disabled. Turns out there is an issue with expired certificates. I have switched to Opera until there is a fix for Firefox.

Most versions of FF you CAN overide this stupidity..
In your address bar, type in "about : config" ( no space between the colon, forum makes a smiley face when I wrote it without spaces without the quotes of course).
Go down the list to:
"xpinstall.signatures.required" and toggle from "true" to "false"
Close and RESTART FF and your addons now will be back to working order provided you did not remove them.
IF you did happen to uninstall your disabled addons, this "might" allow them to reinstall instead of failing (I have not tried that as of yet).
On edit, tried this on my DDs computer, does not fix the reistallation failing for addons. Looks like FF developers stupidity has broken ALL installations of addons..
Way to go FF developers, you guys ARE more of a menace than the supposed bad third party developers of addons that you were supposedly protecting us from :M
