Firefox just imploded. Most, if not all of their add-ons have expired at once globally.

That's very strange, mostly given the date (it's not the end of first of a month, when most deals tend to expire). I wonder if it will be hard to fix and how they'll explain it.

The date matches, apparently, since their certificates were due to expire May 4th at midnight. Dial back the clock manually and add-ons can be downloaded and start to work again. Either way, a tremendous oversight that shouldn't have happened outside of Beta Firefox if you ask me.

For instance, lawyers (and others) here need digital certificates to digitally sign their work. A lot of software for government agencies also work only on Firefox...
