Firefox has updated my browser to 43.0.1. It has disabled the extension and said when I tried to install the update Firefox said the update appears to be corrupt. Any suggestions?

It looks like for version 43, you can disable the signature check, see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Add-ons/Extension_Signing. Go to "about:config" in Firefox (type this into the Firefox address bar) and then look for xpinstall.signatures.required and set it to false.

Looks, from your link, like that's only a temporary fix, as it won't be possible to override the requirement for signature checking from v44 onwards.

So do you plan to sign the DownloadStudio extension before v44 is released?

We have submitted the DownloadStudio extension to Firefox for signing, we are currently waiting for it to be reviewed and signed.

Any updates on the signing approval from Firefox?

We're still waiting on Firefox's approval. They say it can take 10+ days or so, so hopefully it should be soon.

Not there yet? Will there be a new version of the xpi once it's approved and, if so, what will the update process be?

We're now at Firefox 48.0 and the DownloadStudio extension has been disabled; I think Firefox no longer respects the setting of xpinstall.signatures.required

Is Mozilla's approval looking any more likely? Is there a newer version of the extension? Is there a workaround?

Hi,
the DownloadStudio addon in the Firefox store has been signed, please remove the current addon then re-install it from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/downloadstudio-firefox-integra/
