    I'm reading this using Mozilla. Seems to be working well for me. Maybe it's a regional update thing.

    From what I was able to gather, it did affect all users worldwide. However, most Firefox installs have a Firefox feature called Studies enabled by default. The studies are a way for Mozilla to quickly send out hotfixes and other updates without requiring a Firefox update to take place.

    More information can be found here:

    I got a couple of themes and google translate and what not. All good on my end to be honest, wasn't even affected in the least bit.

    Happened Friday night in my timezone. I was tired and just wanted to play some video games, so I didn't take any action other than whinge.
    If it had been Saturday I would have quit Firefox after almost ten years straight of brand loyalty, migrating to Chrome.
    It was fixed when I woke up Saturday afternoon.
