The issue is caused by a certificate expiring.
The released fix is a work-around which reduces security by not checking
the addon's signature.

I'm hoping that Mozilla can get the appropriate certificate re-signed
- some certificates use retired encryption and I don't know which 
certificates are involved, so this may not be possible.
That way the current fix can be reversed and all browsers
will work exactly as before.

Can somone confirm that this is the plan ?
