ABP Developer build not updating anymore

Post by absmn »

I have installed ABP Developer builds for some time now.
Usually, these builds are updated automatically.
Since a week or so, I don't receive newer ABP builds anymore.

I remember I've installed the developer build using AMO, but recently the developer builds have been removed from that website: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2018/02 ... -versions/

All my other addons are updating normally.
Should I install a newer build manually from en/development-builds?
Perhaps other users are also affected.

UA: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:61.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/61.0 with ABP 3.0.2.1983beta installed

the problem has recently resurfaced with latest ABP developer build #2029, where Firefox will block this recent build from updating/installing, no matter what.

the previous ABP dev builds (2028) & earlier do not have this problem.
use #2028 or older and avoid build 2029 until a newer one comes out.

Yes, I experience the same problem. It seems like build #2029 isn't signed or isn't signed correctly...
In the Firefox browser console the following errors are logged:
1524654498617 addons.xpi-utils WARN Add-on devbuild@adblockplus.org is not correctly signed.
1524654498618 addons.xpi-utils WARN Add-on devbuild@adblockplus.org is not correctly signed.
1524654498618 addons.xpi WARN Download of https://downloads.adblockplus.org/devbu ... 4.2029.xpi failed: signature is required but missing
Tested with: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:61.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/61.0 with ABP 3.0.4.2028 Developer Edition

Add-on updates are working again for ABP Development builds (updated to 3.0.4.2031 successfully).
