so is there a recipe for re-enabling the add-ons?  otherwise, one is
running pretty nekkid.

From https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/certificate-issue-causing-add-ons-to-be-disabled-or-fail-to-install/39047:

12:50 p.m. UTC / 03:50 a.m. PDT: We rolled-out a fix for release, beta
and nightly users on Desktop. The fix will be automatically applied in
the background within the next few hours, you don’t need to take
active steps.

In order to be able to provide this fix on short notice, we are using
the Studies system. You can check if you have studies enabled by going
to Firefox Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Allow Firefox to
install and run studies.

You can disable studies again after your add-ons have been re-enabled.

We are working on a general fix that doesn’t need to rely on this and
will keep you updated.

read that.  to do it, i have to start ffox.  and 100 tabs will open and
javascript will flood in.
