Were they really remotely disabled? That would mean somebody out there pushed a button and made your add-ons go poof.
As I understand it, the browser checks the certificate of add-ons at some point (on startup? on an interval?) and only uses signed ones. And since signatures are date restricted, previously valid signatures can become invalid.
I'm not 100% sure if this really is the mechanism. Would be interesting to hear from someone in the know.
