Good day all. This is a basic technical update for those who follow this site, (All three of you), who may be using Mozilla Firefox.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You may see all your plugins, add-ons and themes suddenly be disabled. This is due to a massive screw-up by Mozilla. They forgot to update an SSL certificate and it expired. This caused all the plugins and add-ons to be disabled. There are details and update at Engadget<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As of 7:30 am Eastern United States Time, the new certificate had been rolled into place and is now taking effect. Our copies of Firefox are now returning to their previous state. I can confirm this. The copy I use has just returned to it’s previous state.<\/p>\n

As backup browsers, we also use Google Chrome, (Which we don’t trust since, Goolglag) and Opera, (Which is mediocre). I’ve always liked Firefox and have it customized just the way I like it. To let a security certificate expire is the height of incompetence. Someone needs to be reassigned to the Mozilla janitorial services.<\/p>\n

Thank you<\/p>\n\"1\"2\"3\"4\"5 (4<\/strong> votes, average: 3.75<\/strong> out of 5)
