Some Firefox users started to notice that installed browser extensions were all disabled in the web browser suddenly. Extensions would display "could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled" messages in the add-ons manager of the browser. Firefox would display "One or more installed add-ons cannot be verified and have been disabled" at the top as a notification next to that.
Turns out, the issue is caused by a bug. If you read carefully, you notice that verification is the issue. A new thread on Bugzilla suggests that this has something to do with extension signing.
One way to work around this bug is to go to about:config and set preference xpinstall.signatures.required to false. It fixes it immediately but is not recommended. It will mean that any extensions being installed will no longer be checked for valid signatures so you open yourself up to some risk if you're installing from unknown locations.
This is pretty messy from Mozilla's side as it has caught everyone by surprise.
