    Firefox just broke all addons...

    Looks like there was some bug in the most recent version of Firefox. The FF subreddit is going crazy, something about when the PC system clock updated to a specific time and date all addons are broken and removed.

    I assume you are talking about browser games? Or add-ons, such as popup blockers and such?

    Clock-bound systems are some of the most idiotic ideas ever, right up there with pirate eyepatches.

    Have not seen any need for add blockers or extensions for Firefox. I use it and like it. Does a great job of blocking adds and popups. And it is fast. Then again, I do not play any browser games ether.

    Pirate Eye patches have many plausible and tested theories as to their use. One highly plausible one is to block one eye from sunlight, preventing the Sunlight from bleaching the Rhodopsin, the photopigment used by the rods to see at night, when transitioning from On deck to below deck. It takes about 30 min of not seeing light for a Human eye to adjust to Dark vision, so having one capable of each type at all times can be helpful, especially if you're boarding another ship for plundering.

    We cannot go back. That's why it's hard to choose. You have to make the right choice. As long as you don't choose, everything remains possible.

    Just a matter of time before they fix it, and if they don't properly fix it, there's many forks of FireFox that probably don't break addons.

    Ironic that I'm using a PC with Linux Mint using FireFox that still has working addons. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Its related to their backend and more than likely security bug. Shit happens. There's alternative browsers in the meantime. Microsofts new browser actually isn't that bad if you don't want to deal with all of Google's shit, its based off Chrome.

    I discovered this myself today, with a number of customers that called in.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/com..._they_are_all/
    https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/com...nsions_broken/

    They posted a specific thing here: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/com..._being_marked/

    The easiest fix I found was to turn your clock back to yesterday (5/2), download your addon, and set it back. That wont prevent it from getting boinked next time though. It's... kind of a huge deal.

    Ew. My Firefox UI is all screwed up now.

    I wish new versions would let us just change where we want the URL bar and tabs and the like. Classic Theme Restorer helps me a lot, and it's gonna blow a lot of chunks trying to youtube without an adblocker.

    Go to about:debugging, make sure it's enabled, download the XPIs for your essential add-ons and then install them.

    I don't use it as my main browser. Just play around with it from time to time because its based off Chrome/Chromium. They have a long line of trash browsers.
