San Francisco, March 14, 2025 –A root certificate in Firefox is expiring, which could disable add-ons, break media playback, and expose users to security risks. Update NOW to stay protected!
Millions of Firefox users are on the brink of browser chaos as a critical root certificate is set to expire on March 14. Users who fail to update by this deadline could face broken add-ons, disabled DRM media, and security vulnerabilities.
Mozilla has warned that Firefox versions older than 128 (or 115.13 ESR) will start malfunctioning due to an expiring root certificate. Without an update, users could face:
- Add-ons and extensions being disabled
- Streaming issues with DRM-protected media
- Increased security risks, including rogue add-ons and phishing threats
Cybersecurity expert Mark Jennings emphasized:
This isn’t just a minor inconvenience, your browser security is at risk if you don’t update.
Mozilla has strongly urged users to update immediately to avoid digital chaos. The Tor Browser, which is based on Firefox, is also affected.
A Mozilla spokesperson stated:
Keeping Firefox updated ensures security, performance improvements, and uninterrupted browsing. Users should update without delay.
