Could Mozilla Hurry Up and Verify Some Add-Ons?

more options

I am on the Firefox Beta channel on Linux Mint, and now Firefox is blocking a couple of the best extensions in the world. They are both from EFF: Https Everywhere and Privacy Badger. I installed them manually for the longest time until they went into the Firefox add-on place. Well, they aren't "verified" so now I had to manually override it in about:config. But I am hearing that unless I get Firefox Developer or Nighty, I can't install them after Firefox 41!! Mozilla: could you please verify these add-ons for future versions of Firefox and for everyone who uses them? These add-ons are a must have for me. I might have to switch to Chrome, I consider them so needed until they are "verified". Thanks and please do it soon!!

I think EFF needs to submit them to Mozilla for verification (signature). Feel free to urge EFF to do that before the formal release of Firefox 41 in about five weeks.
