Yes, I had the exact same issue, just opened it up to try again this morning and the first thing I saw was your post. Upchuck’s link in #13 seems to have some good information if you haven’t checked it yet.

Happened to me last night also.

Because the glitch stems from an underlying certificate, re-installing extensions won’t work — if you try, you’ll likely just be met with a different error message. Getting extensions back for everyone is going to require Mozilla to issue a patch.

That happened to me last night, now it's back to normal. I actually had to look at the internet without an ad blocker. The horror, the horror...

You may just need to update your Firefox Browser. I am using Firefox with only Ghostery add on, and it is working fine. All you need is Ghostery Ad block and skip Adblock.

Anyway, if you cannot get it to work, then I strongly recommend using BRAVE. The creator of the Brave Browse is the creator of Java and the Firefox Browser. He is a conservative and was kicked out of Firefox for being a strong supporter of Traditional marriage.

Brave requires no Add ons and is faster the Google Chrome. It does a great job blocking unwanted Ads. Try it out. I think you will like it. Here is the link. Try it out and you can import all your bookmarks. Here is the link below.

Yep - I’ve encountered it too after an update.

I kept getting a Firefox pop-up telling me my browser was “critically out of date”. I foolishly allowed it to update and now it is largely unusable.

I set that machine aside and moved to a different computer. I guess that’s on the todo list for this weekend...

Not much of a speller either, but seriously, as I understand Firefox is disabling extensions that are obfuscated. Meaning you can’t dis-assemble the code.

No, they said they would be disabling extensions. Not a virus.

Is Brave more accepted than it was in the beginning? I tried it right after firefox got stupid... I couldn’t open several websites with it.

What's up with Firefox today??? ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

This happened to me, too. No AdBlock, etc.

Brave is excellent now. Give it another try.

Get on Brave. It is a very good browser, feature rich, can take Chrome extensions.
