[tor-talk] REGULAR Firefox_temporary fix for disabled browser extensions

[Joe]

Thanks.
If anyone's interested - for REGULAR Firefox, changing the
"xpinstall.signatures.required" to True, didn't work for me.

But there's an updated blog post about a Mozilla workaround (for regular
Fx).
https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2019/05/04/update-regarding-add-ons-in-firefox/

It involves enabling in Privacy & Security: "Allow Firefox to send
technical and interaction data to Mozilla."
They list full (simple) steps.
Which they call enabling "Studies."  Note: they say you can disable
"send technical & interaction data," once addons are re-enabled.

It said it could take hours for the "studies" to be applied to Fx &
addons to be re-enabled, but it happened in a few minutes for me.  Note:
I'm using Fx 63 _Linux, from Mozilla's site, not a Linux distro version.
