If you're running Firefox, there's a massive glitch disabling some add-in extensions

Some or all extensions are being disabled. You get a warning, but re-installing the program doesn't make it work again. This is a known bug, and a ticket has been submitted. It will get fixed, but it will require a patch to be issued, i.e. a new release of Firefox, so we're just going to have to wait for it to be fixed.

It's a bit of an overstatement to say ALL Firefox extensions are breaking, but a lot are. My main one is Adblock+, and it's just fine.

In the words of the Bard, shit happens.

I haven’t received any warnings on my tablet or phone, but have seen cautions on the computers about ublock needing updating. The work PCs seem to update as much as JAVA these days, including ESR.

It hit both my iMac and my laptop, I have FF on my iPad but I don't run it on a regular basis, mainly when I want a private browsing session.
