What about older versions? Does this mean that older versions of firefox can never be used with addons (even matching older versions) anymore?

Good question. Looks like they do have a release for 60 (the current ESR): https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/60.6.2esr/ https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/60.6.2esr/

  Just export the key from a current version and import it into the old version. Worked for me.

    How do you do this?

      From an updated Firefox navigate to Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Security -> Certificates -> View Certificates Now find: Mozilla Corporation signingca1.addons.mozilla.org Select signingca1.addons.mozilla.org and then choose export. This is what you would import into the older version of Firefox.

        BTW that certificate list if fairly long, has no scrollbar and no search box. That's a bad UI. Is there a way to report this without spending hours to register at Bugzilla and file a proper bug report?

        Not sure why you don't have a scrollbar. On my version of Firefox (Firefox Developer Edition 67-0b16) the certificate list does have a scroll bar and can be navigated using the mousewheel. Can't speak for stable Firefox since I don't use that version. No, not that I am aware of. In my own experience it actually took me longer to find alternative ways of bringing awareness to a bug I was having than it did to signup to Bugzilla and report it there.

Which older versions, specifically?

  I don't have any particular in mind, but also future versions when they are old: will every version of firefox have a certificate that expires at some point in it?

A fix for the ESR is coming, are there any other supported old versions of firefox out there? If you're using an unsupported version, then it's probably safe to assume you won't get a fix.
