Made the suggested change to the privacy & security but still did not work. Very poor!

I am very annoyed that the add-ons have been suspended without warning! I have tried the suggested ideas but nothing works - unable to even download an alternative claiming that I need to check my connection! How could I be looking at the suggestions if I had no connection. So how long before all is back to normal and I am not inundated with pathetic adverts? Brian Vaux

Chosen solution

There was a Bug-A-Boo with a Certificate Expiration Date dealing with the Add-ons. There's a new FF Version with the main Fix, 66.0.4.

Mozilla Blog Post Update:
A Firefox release has been pushed — version 66.0.4 on Desktop and Android, and version 60.6.2 for ESR. This release repairs the certificate chain to re-enable web extensions, themes, search engines, and language packs that had been disabled (Bug 1549061).
There are remaining issues that we are actively working to resolve, but we wanted to get this fix out before Monday to lessen the impact of disabled add-ons before the start of the week. More information about the remaining issues can be found by clicking on the links to the release notes above.
