I will stick to the "clearly false" since it is now well to the point where we are in 2019-05-04 (even in local UT1, let alone UTC), studies are disabled (and have been since forever), no studies have been loaded, and my extensions still work quite fine, thank-you. Attempting to install a "new" extension fails with a "bad signature" error. Is the "permanent fix" going to be proper validation of signatures I wonder? Or will they still consider the signature (made while there was ink in the pen) to be invalid after the pen runs out of ink? Or, more accurately, not invalidate the handwritten signature after the death of the witness. Lordy forbid that the "real world" worked like that ... invalidating the signature on a contract merely because the witness or signer got killed by a rogue bus ... What a lovely way to render a contract nul ab initio -- just kill one of the witnesses ... --- The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume.

You can turn on the Studies option under Privacy & Security for a little while, then check about:studies and you should see one or two in there regarding the xpi verification/signing. Once you have those two studies, you can disable Studies again. Likely we'll see a full fix with a point release of Firefox in a day or so.
