While it may be true the "studies" feature which enabled the temporary
fix is turned on by default it is a highly contentious feature which
many security minded users (isn't that what most firefox users are) have
disabled. Yes, it can be turned back on to get the "fix" but I choose
not to compromise one form of security to regain another that was lost
due to an unfortunate mozilla error. Just the same as I and many others
choose to use LTS and the standard release system to minimize risk and
maximize stability. I hope the maintainers can understand this.

Title:
  All plugins disabled due to expired cert

Status in Mozilla Firefox:
  Confirmed
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1548973

  Due to expiration of an intermediate cert, all plugins were disabled.
  Firefox pushed a fix via 'Studies' option, but this seems to be disabled by 
default in Ubuntu builds?

  When this is disabled, no update is getting pushed!

  Think we need to get a fix into repositories asap :)
