What the hell is wrong with you people? You just disabled all my security extensions, and I had to go into about:config to re-enable them!

I only still use Firefox because of the extensions and cross-platform abilities. If you keep disabling my extensions, I'll move elsewhere. Stop trying to be helpful when it isn't wanted or needed.

Hello shillbot, i have...bad news. In Firefox 44 (Release & Beta versions) will not allow unsigned extensions to be installed, with no override.

An option is to use ESR firefox version...for a while. ESR firefox supports signing with 45 version (release date 2016-03-08).

Sorry, not good news indeed. I don't like it also, but security reasons are the cause of that. Let's hope all the developers (of extensions) follow the advice to sign there extensions, so to be able to install extensions in Release and Beta versions of Firefox.

thank you
