Even though i think my mistrust of Mozilla is not unwarented at this point, il refrain from wild speculation.
Weâre beyond ridiculous at this point. 24h in an online world is practically an eternity.
I should be thankful, I suppose. If not for this, I probably wouldnât have tried Cent Browser. Itâs the only Chromium based browser that I can comfortably use.
Waterfox is your goto for using the samewise extensions.
I know, but I was browsing through the Reddit thread about this catastrophe that has befallen us, and someone mentioned Cent Browser so I decided to check it out. Itâs neat.
Not planning to stick with it for long though. I have a bunch of browsers installed. Chrome, Vivaldi, Opera, Brave, Edge and Edge Chromium etc.
I did to because I didnât like the privacy invasion but for now its fine
I donât think they want to. I think they want to get devs to start signing their addons
Itâs actually a legit strategy. Itâs called TNO and Steve Gibson coined it.
the Studies fix applies only to Desktop users of Firefox distributed by Mozilla. Firefox ESR, Firefox for Android, and some versions of Firefox included with Linux distributions will require separate updates

Yep, my FF on my android phone is doing the same.
Yeah, had to figure this one out today with Fennec via F-Droid.
Waterfox on Android has signing enabled. Youâll need to do the about:config
fix. Just had to fix it on the 2 devices that ran Waterfox for Android.
it just happened to me too⌠now I hate a light theme and no adblock, thanks mozilla
the xpinstall.signatures.required:false
didnât helpâŚ
pls halp or imma kill myself
waterfox
Somethings are broken but you should be able to find a basic working setup.
I am not willing to switch browsers just yet.
They do have a proper fix, itâs the studies thing. Most people leave it on; you have to care about privacy and actively turn it off, and supposedly people who possess the sophistication to do that can google âfirefox addons broken WTFâ and fix it themselves by turning studies on, setting the timer to 1s, and restarting Fx. I mean, I did, early this morning.
I agree it would have been better if they quickly cut a release and pushed that to everybody including Android users. Not sure why they didnât do that instead.
Should of done so long agoâŚ
instead of telling me to switch browsers or that there is a fix but not sharing it
you could either tell me the fix or not say anything
I can not personally recommend their âfixâ Rolling your clock back to tomorrow might work but will break other things. Just sit and be patience for the patch. You might get lucky with a few of the methods posted above.
Certain distros donât build with the Studies feature enabled. I wouldnât call that a âproper fixâ.
Itâs a workaround, just like deactivating signing.
Rolling back your clock will break SSL sites. Just turn on studies with 1s timing, restart firefox, turn studies back off, and go about your business.
And yeah, if you have a special Fx build youâre hosed. That sucks.
