I got a message just now that I had not certified plugins. But when I clicked it I was told I didn't have any such plugins.

I don't understand a thing. Is the warning a mistake? There's nothing wrong with the plugins?
 And how does your blacklist come into it? |

QUOTE(pandy @ May 5 2019, 08:25 AM) I don't understand a thing. Is the warning a mistake? There's nothing wrong with the plugins? The extensions are OK, but Mozilla/Firefox has apparently messed up the certificates that are used to check that extensions are legitimate (these certificates are frequently updated in the background by browsers). It's not just a warning, Firefox refuses to run most extensions without the certificates, for security reasons: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Add-ons/Extension_Signing (unless you disable the certificate requirement, which is not recommended in the long run --then the extensions should work, but with a warning label). QUOTE And how does your blacklist come into it? For blocking ads and trackers. Without it I would be drowned in ads, now that extensions used for blocking ads and tracking no longer work. Alas Tor browser bypasses the Hosts file, so I wonder if it's safe to use right now. |
