[Neat URL] Cannot download/install addon #157

Closed UrsBeeli closed 5 years ago

I was trying to download and install this addon into Firefox 66.0.3 (64-bit). When clicking on the "+Add to firefox" button the site shows me a red error bar, telling me the addon could not be downloaded. If I right click on the button, I can locally store the XPI file, but when I try to drag and drop it into firefox, I am then told, it could not be installed, because it appears to be corrupt.

I've got the same issue with another addon (Smart Referer), so I am not sure if it is a general Firefox issue or just something wrong with the download of this addon...

Hi. This is related to Mozilla's main certificate expiring. Details here: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/bkhtv8/heres_whats_going_on_with_your_addons_being/

Thanks, after some more research I stumbled across the same issue.

In the meantime Mozilla seems to have rolled out a fix, all my addons work again and I managed to install Neat URL. Sorry for the noise.
