I've received the hotfix, and it was marked as "Complete" in the studies section, but it has not re-enabled my add-ons, and I can't enable them myself.

i think the signature verification mechanism should kick in again once in the next 24h and mark addons as active again.

you could try if resetting the "app.update.lastUpdateTime.xpi-signature-verification" pref in about:config and restarting the browser (or setting it to "1556945257" as was done by one part of the hotfix) can speed this up.

Hi there phillipp,

It was not present. I just added it, any other steps? Add-ons still not enabled.

hm, not sure - is it possible to install extensions from addons.mozilla.org in this state at least?

Appears to be, old extensions still not working, and under normal circumstances, I'd uninstall and re-install, but I'd like to keep my configurations. Please keep me posted with any updates that might happen.

Cheers, George

Heya phillipp,

So, setting the last update timestamp to a future date and letting that time pass (I set it to about 10-15 seconds later) worked!

Cheers man!
