Firefox asked to update this morning so I clicked on yes. Now, my 'Save to Mendeley' and 'Clip to OneNote' addons refuse to work. Added and removed them several times, restarted firefox, nothing works. Only difference in system between yesterday (when everything worked perfectly) and today is the update in firefox browser. Clicking on addons does absolutely nothing now, not even an error message. I really like firefox and would like to stick with but may have to migrate back to Chrome because these little addons are lifesavers for me. Please help.

This will disable add-on signature enforcement; Enter about:config into your Firefox address bar Click the I'll be careful button Find xpinstall.signatures.required in the list Right click the preference Select Toggle until the value is false https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-on-signing-in-firefox

You can check the Browser Console (Firefox menu button or Tools > Web Developer; Ctrl+Shift+J) to see if there are error messages about these extensions.
