Not understanding the message here, but maybe mine also was not the clearest! I can't adapt to add-ons, I prefer standalone software. the only add-on I have is a dark mode.

Just curious but have you tried Vivaldi (ublock origin works on vivaldi)? I like it better than Opera. I just downloaded Microsoft Edge Canary (the chromium based version of Edge), its a stand alone download, its so fast... holy crap lol sooo fast it is unbelievable, but I don't think addons work on it yet, I haven't tried yet

So you'd rather have AdBlocker as a standalone app? That doesn't make much sense.

Hard pass
Plugins are what make modern browsers great! Why would you limit yourself in such a way?

@lexluthermiester I'm just experimenting with it, I would never use it as a daily driver. Vivaldi with ublock origin is my daily driver.

The problem was well identified on the web site... I noticed it Saturda morning ... did a search found the explanation. I have studies turned off but have no issue with the studies feature, Mot folks who didn't het fixes right away was because they didn't read the whole paragraph. Studies is a feature mozila uses to diagnose problems so that fixes are actually fixes. They find the root of the problem, "create a study" specifically targeted at collecting data about a specific problem such that when putting together a fix, the fix hopefully doesn't fix only a % of users. If ya concerned about this, you should be way more concerned about MS telemetry and Google / Chrome.
It was a PITA for 2 days having to see ads everywhere and having no "restore editor field". Things that worked:
1. reinstalling a backup from Mozbackup utility. It puyt the add on functionality back but unfortunately... only for about 30 minutes before mozilla detected the expoired certificate again.
2. Doing the study ... of course, the default behavior for studies is that the study will be downloaded in 6 hours; go in about;config and change the default 21,600 seconds to 60 and it picked up right away.
3. Just waiting till the patch in 66.04 was released.
Things that did not work:
1. Deleting your add ons and reinstaling them .... this put them back at default and lost all customizations, white lists etc. If it worked, it was only cause you got the update in the interim.
2. Uninstall / reinstall. As above.

Let's face facts, it was a simple error, easily fixed. Hardly an earth shattering failure..

Pretty much summarizing my feelings.
Was it stupid? Sure. But those that tell you it means anything more than standard human error have an axe to grind. Beware.
Let me guess, Chrome is awesome right?
Chrome, Oh Google Chromium! Give me back my WebKit!

Finally got firefox updated yesterday: 1st, i changed xpinstall.signatures.required again to true in about:config and then upgraded via terminal, and the add-ons "magically" returned.
Up until this point, i had xpinstall.signatures.required set to false.

that's because Mozilla issued newer versions of Firefox like 66.0.5 and 60.6.3 ESR a few days ago which should completely fix the disabled addons problem
