12:50 p.m. UTC / 03:50 a.m. PDT: We rolled-out a fix for release, beta and
nightly users on Desktop. The fix will be automatically applied in the
background within the next few hours, you don’t need to take active steps.

In order to be able to provide this fix on short notice, we are using the
Studies system. You can check if you have studies enabled by going to
Firefox Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Allow Firefox to install and
run studies.


This is a lie. I had both updates and studies disabled but
"hotfix-update-xpi-intermediate" appeared in my addons anyway.

It also failed to re-enable noscript.
