Rescorla: technical details on the recent Firefox add-on outage

Eric Rescorla has written a
detailed summary of how the Firefox add-on fiasco happened, how it was
addressed, and how a repeat might be avoided. 'First, we should have
a much better way of tracking the status of everything in Firefox that is a
potential time bomb and making sure that we don’t find ourselves in a
situation where one goes off unexpectedly. We’re still working out the
details here, but at minimum we need to inventory everything of this
nature.'
