Gesturefy: FireFox auto-removed the Gesturefy extension

[larryedwards]

Describe your matter in detail

Tonight, FireFox (current version) removed a number of the extensions I had installed, including yours. The message says the security of the extension has not been verified.

If I try to reinstall any of the removed extensions, that is blocked (but giving a misleading error message saying "check your connection" - which isn't the reason - FF blocks this).

Hope you can get it verified and going again soon!

Screenshots or further assistance

Your System

• Operating system: Win7 x64
• Firefox version: 66.x
• Gesturefy version: Unknown, since FF removed it.

I'm currently unable to install any add-on from AMO. So it seems like there is a problem on AMO which might be related to your problem.

What is AMO?

AMO = Mozilla Add-ons = https://addons.mozilla.org

This issue is due to expiration of Mozilla's signing cert.
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1548973.

You can already install a Hotfix for this. For more information checkout here: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2019/05/04/update-regarding-add-ons-in-firefox/

Thanks, Robin.

About:Studies says the hotfix is installed, but none of the subject
extensions have been reactivated. So it seems Moz still has work to do
on the fix. (BTW, this is on a PC running Windows.)

I'm closing this since Mozilla released an update which fixes the problem.
