Just to note, that extensions are [now] (three separate) "fixes" up on AMO for this for FF versions 47-65.

I'm a noob,so how did this work before? I mean before the add-ons got broken, my xpinstall.signatures.required was always set to 'true' and NoScript 5.1.9 was working.barbaz wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 2:33 pmNoScript Classic is not signed.

Probably you were using an outdated NoScript version, from before Mozilla stopped signing legacy extensions.

Ah, damn.Right, so what choice/choices do i have? I mean ,from what i've read the option to keep xpinstall.signatures.required to false is not recommended right, due to security issues?

No, you're not opening yourself up to security issues.redriver97 wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 3:02 pm from what i've read the option to keep xpinstall.signatures.required to false is not recommended right, due to security issues?
The original rationale for requiring signing was something about reducing "greyware/crapware". But if you're careful what you install - as you should be anyway - then you won't have crapware addons anyway, and thus you don't need the required signing.
EDIT I should be clear that "careful what you install" not only applies to Firefox addons, but also system programs. Some installers try to side-load various "optional offers" (read: bundled crapware) that you have to explicitly opt out of. In theory such side-loaded crapware could include Firefox extensions.

Well,i have only ever used 5 add-ons for years - for IDM,JDownloader,NoScript,UBlock Origin and Zenmate,all legit and used by millions i'm sure.I don't need any more stuff.The less,the better is my mantra.The same goes for any apps,i use basic stuff - an anti-virus (Avira), IDM/utorrent/jDownloader for downloads, VLC for multimedia...basic apps.
I guess i was worried about security issues,mostly malicious stuff being downloaded in background without my knowledge if i used the 'false' value, but i might go with the 'false' value now that you've clarified the issue.
