Steve Kinney posted this fix elsewhere. Be sure to see my addenda below.

"MOZILLA just ripped out /all/ the privacy and security tools I had installed 
in Firefox, without warning.  When I tried to reinstall them, FIREFOX LIED, 
presenting a notice indicating a broken web connection to the download site.  

How to fix this:  

1)  Open a new tab, and type the address about:config

2)  Ignore and click through the warning.

3)  Search for xpinstall.signatures.required, and toggle the value from true to 
false

4)  Search for extensions.langpacks.signatures.required and toggle the setting 
from true to false

Then reinstall your extensions if necessary.

Maybe one in 50 to 100 Firefox users would even know where to begin looking for 
a way to fix this.  Right now I am not at all happy with Mozilla.  To put it 
very mildly."

Addenda: 
"Did that, restarted browser, NoScript and and uBlock origin still inactive 
with signature warning. Went to Add-ons page. Instead of install buttons there 
were enable buttons. clicked and restarted the browser. Works now. Not wasting 
my time to see if resetting the about:configs to true makes the enable button 
at the add-on page disappear or not

Went looking for a fix last night but none were android specific and I didn't 
know the exact config terms because I'd always used an add-on that disabled the 
sig requirements in my computer's version of Firefox."
