There's a fix at the bottom of this thread, which seems to be from late 2015 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1078339(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste xpin and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If the xpinstall.signatures.required preference has a value of true then double-click it to switch it to false. If that preference does not exist, then it is not possible to run unsigned extensions in the version you're running. I don't know if the fix works in current versions of Firefox that are based on Quantum. It might if you have an older version or ESR version of Firefox. Other suggestions in that thread include turning your computer's clock back.

I know what you mean, oldbroad! I'm using Edge and while it's taken awhile, I am getting used to it. In fact, I haven't even installed Firefox on my new solid state drive to force myself to use it. I do like it much better now.
Once again, weeds are my life!

This was the last straw for me with Firefox which I have been using for a long time, but with Jenny100 suggestion awhile back to try Pale Moon which is a younger sister (or brother depending on your preference) to Firefox, in fact it is Sooo close to Firefox that if wasn't for the Pale Moon logo, you would think you are using Firefox and Ublock works with PM, and when FF knocked my Kaspersky security feature and just as important it knocked off my Zoom Page which I need, well goodbye FF. I uninstalled it and now using Pale Moon as my default browser, it is secure and has regular updates.
Also, my wife and I found lately that FF was very slow, so my wife is now using Edge and with her smaller laptop, Edge works really fast, note: Edge is with Windows 10. I find Pale Moon working faster than FF on my updated Windows 10 from 8 machine. Also what I was frustrated with FF was that there a few sites (legit sites) that would take forever to load and FF fox stating that a fix was on the way, this was almost 1 year ago.
