Widespread Firefox issues

Sat May 4 14:29:55 UTC 2019

So, for being "Clearly false",  the hotfix pushed out by the Firefox 
Studies feature is...

*drumroll*

An updated intermediate certificate!

You can turn on the Studies option under Privacy & Security for a little 
while, then check about:studies and you should see one or two in there 
regarding the xpi verification/signing.  Once you have those two 
studies, you can disable Studies again.

Likely we'll see a full fix with a point release of Firefox in a day or so.
