Please update firefox quickly to 64.0.4 to make add-ons working again. Thanks in advance.
For stable users, an update of Firefox from 60.6.1 to 60.6.2 would also seem approrpriate to solve the same problem. All Firefox add-ons are disabled with current versions. See https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2019/05/04/update-regarding-add-ons-in-firefox/ Thanks!
Created attachment 575376 [details] firefox-66.0.4.ebuild Here is a working ebuild for 66.0.4. The xpi directories appear to be missing for 66.0.4, so I am using the xpi's from 66.0.3. There is only one line added to the ebuild: MOZ_LANGPACK_PREFIX="66.0.3/linux-i686/xpi/" Not the cleanest solution, but it will allow extensions to work in the mean time.

The versioning will be wrong for xpi name, not something I am interested in dealing with. I will make the bumps in the morning, that is when all the mirrors should have the update and xpi's. If you can not wait for that you could simply patch in the intermediate certificate. I can provide the patch if you are just going crazy without your plugins.

Created attachment 575382 [details, diff] 60.x esr branch certificate for addons Choose the patch based off the version your using if you want a quick solution. Other wise I will make the bump soon as the official xpi's are available.

I noticed the missing langpack XPIs and asked in #firefox/irc.mozilla.org. They don't plan on publishing new ones for 66.0.4. Instead, the 66.0.3 ones should continue to work and be used instead.
I noticed that firefox-bin also tries to download these XPIs. Is this even needed? firefox-bin should (AFAIK) be self-contained. Anyway, if you came here for a quick fix, and you're using firefox-bin, then you can do a manual update by downloading the official firefox-66.0.4.tar.bz2 binary package to your home directory, untar it (so it's extracted into ~/firefox), and then do (as root): cd /opt/firefox find -type f -exec cp -a ~/firefox/'{}' '{}' \; You can then delete ~/firefox and the tar.bz2.
Yes, naturally the -bin version also needs/uses language packs. Keep in mind that users can enable multiple linguas - it doesn't make sense to keep #linguas count of binary Firefox copies around (even if, like you said, Mozilla offers one build per language). Instead, the en-US (base) binary package is installed and additional languages are being provided by also installing the respective language pack extension. That workaround is horrible, because it completely bypasses your package manager. Please don't do that.

(In reply to Jory A. Pratt from comment #4) > Created attachment 575380 [details, diff] [details, diff] > 66.0.x certificate addition for addons The patch for version 66.0.3 works. firefox should also check the addons against the new certificate, I don't know how often it's done. To speed-up the things I have set app.update.lastUpdateTime.xpi-signature-verification to 0 and restarted firefox.
