Firefox Users Urged to Update Before Expiring Root Certificate Causes Disruptions

Mozilla warns that failing to update to Firefox version 128 or higher by March 14 could disable add-ons, break DRM media, and create security risks.

Mozilla's root certificate, essential for verifying add-ons and DRM-protected content, will expire on March 14, 2025.
Users running Firefox versions older than 128 (or ESR 115.13 for extended support users) may face issues like disabled add-ons and broken streaming services.
The expiring certificate could also compromise security protections, exposing users to malicious add-ons, fraudulent websites, and password breaches.
The issue affects Firefox on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, but not iOS due to its independent root certificate system.
Mozilla strongly advises updating to the latest Firefox version to avoid disruptions and maintain browser security and functionality.
