Mozilla seems to have disabled add-ons, attempts to download them don't work
Et tu, anyone ?
All of my extensions are marked as "___ could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled".
Trying to remove them and reinstall them gives "Download failed. Please check your connection."
EVERY single add-on on the Mozilla page does this.
2 hours later, I found https://github.com/mozilla/addons/issues/978, which is
a current discussion of the problem that people have discovered in the last 3-4 hours.
I can attest this just recently happened around 10 pm Central, on my 2 computers running Firefox.
I have Opera as a back up browser, so can change over to that.

(61,974 posts)Mozilla acknowledges the problem. A site certificate expired as of 00:00 May 4, 2019.
All extensions disabled due to expiration of intermediate signing cert

The addon store needs to fix their site.

The other hotfix is hotfix-reset-xpi-verification-timestamp-1548973.
In my case, one PC has the fixes and I'm still waiting on other computers.
