You should've been anticipating something this for a while now and making contingency plans.

On Windows, you can temporarily change the system date for just firefox by using something like:

Can I get a source on that? Why would Rust require a 64 bit system for compiling? Unless they royally fucked up their compiler it should work on 32 bit systems too.

Pale Moon, its entire architecture and add-on subsystem are wholly forked. Like >>1061135 >>1061220 said, this might actually tip me over the edge to using it as my default on all platforms, since I've only used it for the Windows XP 32-bit fork so far.

Update: We have rolled out a partial fix for this issue. We generated a new intermediate certificate with the same name/key but an updated validity window and pushed it out to users via Normandy (this should be most users). Users who have Normandy on should see their add-ons start working over the next few hours. We are continuing to work on packaging up the new certificate for users who have Normandy disabled.

Not really a good idea if you trust others to pack the add-ons (if you download from Mozilla). It's a temporary solution, you can be really fucked if you don't forget to turn it back.
If you disable signature verification you should rather pack all add-ons yourself.

It uses similar configuration (but not entirely) of Tor so it's pretty much secure.
If you add umatrix whitelist policy and uBo's list filtering you pretty much avoid 98% of all potential risks.

All I see aside from rebranding are bundled extensions and default config changes, nothing you couldn't do in mainline Firefox without even twiddling compile-time flags.

The intended use case of this "feature" is that an add-on which has already been installed can be remotely disabled by Mozilla revoking its cert, when Firefox automatically checks certs (I think) every 30 days, something that wasn't possible before. Using certificates with add-ons at all, simply to verify their authenticity on installation, was completely different and IMHO acceptable. Mozilla has, however, chosen to make these two features inseparable, and furthermore eliminated the ability to ignore them from normal add-on GUI.

Imagine that your computer wouldn't turn on, because OH NOOOO YOUR CERTIFICATE EXPIRED, LET ME REMOVE TURN IF OFF FOR YOU.
That's a bullshit. No one should make decisions for me, that's not how free software works, but guess firefox is more like 'open source', whereas users' freedom is not important.

They needed to warn themselves, not you.
Consider this an effect of overzealous security feature: "all these addons are only valid upto 2019-05-04" was built into the system.
Certainly, addons having a validity expiration date is the shittiest part of the situation;

Yeah that fixed it. But just in case, is there a comprehensive guide somewhere on disabling all the Firefox auto update and security features? When you google it 9 of 10 sites are only faggots not telling you to do that.
I don't wanna use Chrome. It seems to be even less customizable, it doesn't even seem to have something like about config. Plese someone tell me I am wrong, I'm getting sick of Mozilla.

Their reasoning is good: most users should have it still enabled, therefore "no action is needed".

Their implementation is extra shitty: "it might take up to 6 hours to apply the study-based patch".

Switched to Palemoon, dealing with firefox has left a bad taste in my mouth for a long time and this was the last thing that made me switch.
But the browser is somewhat slow and occasionally freezes up for a second or two when opening a new sit. Even typing comes with a 0.5s delay every few words. And scrolling down boards is janky and not very smooth.

More or less besides the minor performance issues I mentioned. Supposedly one of the better options according to the /tech/ cyclical support, I learned a while ago. Supports most of the basic addons and supposedly isn't as intrusive on your data like some others.

Apple ceased existing years ago, immolated by the wrathful spector of Jobs to create an unstoppable weapon of vengeance, in his quest to destroy the bring ruin on the industry that had entombed him in NeXT. Finally knowing after his lengthy ordeal in exiled damnation that computer users were unreceptive toward quality, he seized control of his former creation, and wielded it to produce the dystopian hell he knew people not only deserved for their folly, but obviously desired all along.
His spirit then went to rest knowing that he had wrought justice over the shrieking swarm of idiots that is the computer industry and its customers.

The success of google chrome isn't because people install and use it willingly, they use it because they don't know shit about computing, thus we can conclude that chrome is a browser for retards.
As for the reasons of the addon deactivation there's various possibility:

Firefox is dead, 2003 is long over. Mozilla is an SJW shit company run by dykes, and Quantum is shit. Google is the de facto ruler of the internet, unfortunately, and we'll have to wait for a new company to make a new engine. As stated above, this will most likely never happen.

If Chrome is allowed to achieve literal 100% marketshare in browser engines, WHATWG will probably finish commiting soduku, and the ability to make new engines or even understand how markup functions will probably become basically impossible as Google completely destroys any semblance of standardization or documentation, turning the web into a mirror image of the opaque mess of a platform that is Android.

Now, if, even after these two fixes, your about:config file keeps reverting back to fucked, I reckon you can set the "about:config" file to read-only and be done with it.
The about:config file is "prefs.js", located in the same folder as "extensions.json" . Go to properties, set if to read-only after you've applied the fix, and see if that makes it stick.

Good luck.

to prevent it from talking to the borg ship, and will see if my add-ons got fucked again tomorrow. AFAIK, the "edit extentions.json" fix seems to work, but is temporary. Setting the "xpinstall.signatures.required" and "xpinstall.whitelist.required" to false should do something, but it doesn't unless you're running a developer build.

If you were running Gentoo, it would be trivial to recompile a release version of Firefox as a develper version.

Pretty much this, people keep complaining that their hobbies are poz'd but never realize that the only way to take them back is to start from the bottom and change them from within by breaking them down from the weakest points of the chain, their sense of unity, while at the same time encouraging your own people to join that project or fork it yourself.

Waterfox would be nice if it didn't decide when and when not to ignore return presses for the address bar, forcing you to use the mouse to load a URL you typed in manually. Also it breaks youtube live stream chats frequently, so you need to hide/reopen or refresh the page so it works.
▶ No.1061940

No, a lot of these kinds of sites won't expose the stream openly, but require the user to interact with its JS. That's why tools like youtube-dl and rtmpdump have browser-like features extending well beyond what a mere scraper can do, even with site-specific optimizations. I imagine some kind of packet sniffer might be able to do what add ons can in capturing streams, combined with user interaction, but such tools haven't been able to equal browser add-ons for years.

eventually we will have to make a browser with uMatrix functionality built-in
also, capturing media should still be possible by recording the screen, no?

Yes, aside from doing nothing to allow immediate streaming to non-browser players, it would also require a reencode that imposes generational artifacts.

Developer edition seems to have worked.
Here's my Windows fix so far:
1)Download and install the developer edition of whatever version of firefox you're using. I got mine from here: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/tinderbox-builds/mozilla-aurora-win64/
2) Go to C:\Users\USERNAMEGOESHERE\AppData\Roaming\Mozila\Firefox\Profiles
3)Copy the contents of the old profile folder into the new one. This should transfer your profile and plugins to Firefox Developer Edition, which is considered a different browser from firefox.
4) Apply >>1061048 to Firefox Developer edition.
5) Apply >>1061492
This should re-enable the plugins and keep them enabled. Enjoy having a working browser again.

Apparently that won't work on the stock mainline Windows/Mac versions, so you'll need to use the developer or nightly versions. Note those have additional telemetry turned on by default, but it too can be disabled. In addition, both of them are beta builds, so expect them to be substantially buggier than mainline.
▶ No.1062123>>1062130

Some addons install normally but others are said to be corrupt, straight from their addon website. Every FF version/fork I try is having this problem. Really shows how "free" these alternatives are from cuckzilla.

First, they threatened pale moon devs with death threats which is why devs just thrown and rippen all decade of code off the canvas.
