    If you checkout the link I added, there's a section near the bottom that explains how to check if the emergency fix is currently being applied to your system.

    Yep I did it and not working still.I probably saw the same article as you did.I also tried the about:config option also but that is for nightly builds only, I found out.Thanks for the info I guess I just have to put up with adds till it is fixed.I don't want to complain after all I believe most of the FF people are volunteers I think.Well I may be wrong on that but I will try a be patient.

    4 of the 5 came back on a Windows 7 netbook. I fired it up about 1/2 hour ago and while I was trying to figure out why the one was still activated, it moved to the supported section. Phew.

    Now I have to see if AdBlockPlus works again on my android tablet. I resorted to using another browser because I started seeing ads in places I never saw ads before.

    They just release Firefox 66.0.4-0

    Has any one installed it yet and does it mess-up the Add-Ons an or do they actually have this corrected.

    I was still waiting for my addons to become active again, so I updated Firefox to 66.0.4.0
    Now about half have come back.

    Edit:
    All back now except for my added 'theme'.

    No problem updating four Win 7 computers. I had to wait a bit longer for the update to appear in googleplay for the android devices. But today, all is good!

    Still having problems with my Theme.
    Re-enabled it a couple of times .....
    Re-started Firefox ..... and my Theme came back.
    Opened a fresh tab ..... and the Theme disappeared again.
    Now every time I start Firefox my Theme is active, but as soon as I open a new tab it disappears again.
    Everything else is working fine again.
