Hi everyone, I use firefox on centos 7 at work but due to the fairly well know extension signing problem, I cannot use ublock origin. From what I can tell, the latest version of firefox in the updates repository is 60.6.1-1.el7. It looks like Mozilla have just released firefox esr 60.6.2 which should fix the signing issue. (see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/60.6.2/releasenotes/) Would it be possible for someone to pass this message on to someone who can package this, so that users like me can update?
might fix the signing issue... but a lot of plugins/addons broke... like the restclient ... dangit...

I was told lately about this workaround, check it out. https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2019/05/04/update-regarding-add-ons-in-firefox/ -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!

so basically it says... "sit tight and wait..." Of course I tried to update the restclient, and when that didn't work uninstallit and tried to reinstallit... which didn't work either...

I don't like a workaround to disable a security feature instead of fixing it. What makes me feel a bit bad is that everybody has fixed versions by now, only we enterprise Linux users using the ESR version still don't have fixed versions available. I don't complain because we usually get very fast updates, but this time we seem stuck. I can live with it but it's a bit difficult to explain to our users. Did upstream already release new packages?

Go to about:config 2. Type signature in the search bar. 3. You'll see this key: xpinstall.signatures.required, click on it, to change the boolean from true to false. Stuff may work again. If not, go to tools add-ons, and reenable (which you could not do before the boolean change). mark
cool!! that works for now.. thanks Mark!!
