WARNING: Expiring Root Certificate May Disable Firefox Add-Ons, Security Features, and DRM Playback
Briefly

Mozilla is urging users to upgrade their Firefox to at least version 128 before March 14, 2025, to prevent functionality issues with add-ons caused by an expiring root certificate. This certificate is critical for verifying signed content, and failure to update could lead to problems such as disabled add-ons, issues with DRM-protected media, and security vulnerabilities. The changes affect all Firefox versions across multiple operating systems and are necessary to maintain the integrity of add-ons and the browser's security features.
On March 14, 2025, a root certificate used to verify signed content and add-ons for various Mozilla projects, including Firefox, will expire.
Without updating to Firefox version 128 or higher... this expiration may cause significant issues with add-ons, content signing and DRM-protected media playback.
The latest version of Firefox includes a new root certificate that will prevent this from happening.
Skipping the update may cause problems such as add-ons being disabled, DRM media difficulties and other interruptions.
