Bug Description
See https:/
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 :)

Steps to reproduce:
Wait until it's past midnight on 2019-05-04 UTC.
Actual results:
All addons got disabled due not having valid signature.
Expected results:
If the signature was due to expire, it should have been renewed weeks ago. Not all extensions were disabled. Fakespot and Google Scholar Button were left in their disabled state.
Some reports on reddit [1] says that they had their clocks a day forward, but they may be just early canaries for the actual widespread issue.
Going backwards in time allows installation from AMO but do not remove the unsupported mark from the add ons already installed.
