ΟThe extensions were set to "legacyWhich means that they are no longer compatible with the current version of Firefox. This applies to almost all extensions, even those that are up to date. Reinstalling the extensions does not fix the problem, nor, of course, restarting the browser.
The non-extensions browsing experience was a shock to many users. «I forgot what the internet looks like with ads", Wrote a user in Reddit . “It's hell."
The Mozilla Product Manager , Kev Needham, apologized for the error and reassured users that they were working to fix the problem: “Sorry there is a problem with no new add-ons available in Firefox He told Engadget.
"We know what the issue is and we are working hard to restore add-ons to Firefox as soon as possible. We will continue to provide updates through Twitter channels."
A temporary solution has been posted on Reddit . Requires users to manually upload .xpi files for each browser extension, and only lasts until the browser is closed. When you reopen your browser, the correction needs to be performed again, so it's not that best.
Fortunately, it looks like the issue will be fixed soon with a FireFox update available for download.
However, in order to receive the update, you will need to activate the Studies system. To turn it on, go to Options> Privacy & Security> Allow Firefox to install and perform studies.
This way you should automatically receive the update that fixes the problem as soon as it becomes available.
