All popular extensions such as Dark Mode, LastPass, Ghostery, and others are affected due to the Firefox glitch. A Bugzilla post suggests that the problem is associated with the incorrect extension certificate signing. It means that Firefox extensions that are due signing have been marked as unsupported. In other words, extensions have been due to the expiration of intermediate signing cert.
“Yep, this just happened to me too. What sucks is that the only addon I was using was Ublock Origin, and that is listed as a FEATURED EXTENSION. I really don’t want to go back to Chrome (or Edge, God forbid),” a user wrote in a Reddit post.
Fortunately, a Reddit user has discovered a workaround to deal with the Firefox’s extensions glitch.
