The intermediate certificate expired, the one they used to sign extensions, so all of your extensions are disabled on launch.  Given that this includes privacy and ad blocking, I'd consider it a critical security vulnerability -- it might be better to switch to Chrome for a day.

Was that fixed fast or something? I launched Firefox an hour ago and there wasn't any problem.

A patch was rolled out through "Studies", which appears to be a two-way channel. If "Firefox Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Allow Firefox to install and run studies" is checked, then you got the patch... and Firefox is getting data about you.
