Today I updated Firefox to version 40.0.2 and when I checked my add-on page and found this:
I know what is going on, every program is trying to be secure and all that and they are disabling un-signed applications and things like that but that is messing with workflow of people who know which add-ons and .exe files to trust and just want to get on with their lives.
I quite like Firefox even though I had to go to about:config and tweak a few settings like to show http (which idiot hid it and why is beyond me, I had trouble when I tried to insert "s" to make it "https" and when I tried to change it into "ftp") and now when they started to make these new Chromium-like changes like settings inside a tab (I can't even confirm what I selected now, WTF?) and the worst thing is I was never even given a choice, now this disabling of add-ons brings us here.
I am all for security but I still want an option to ignore the security notifications and enable the add-on, what if I make an add-on myself and I am the only one using but I can't bloody use it because Firefox won't let me. This is making me angry because I cannot turn on "advanced user mode" and use the Firefox without restrictions.
This has been coming for some time, Mozzila said the Firefox will start disabling features on non-secure sites and I guess this is was also in their plan:

This is a really stupid idead and I hope someone forks the Firefox and makes it open (the reason Firefox is great) again!!!
Anybody got the idea how do I open my Firefox and enable the add-on?
