Thanks for mull and for divest. We all will always be grateful.
I still use mull with ublock but only for yt or for reading articles. But since today ublock and some other addons have been disabled and the reason mentioned is ublock cannot be verified as secure and has been disabled. Is this because mull is not updated? If yes then can we override this somehow? Yes will be a security risk but it is just for yt and reading.
Who is updating fennec these days if its not you?
Came across ironfox, it says that its a fork of mull and has stripped all google crap from it unlike fennec. Would like to hear all your thoughts on it?

You got it backwards, Mull was based on Fennec.
Fennec was and is maintained by relan,

@relan Any advice for this issue?
Apologies. Any idea how to fix that addons issue? There used to be a way to force enable them via about:config if the browser is out of date, not able to find which string to edit.
Good afternoon:
It may be due to the browser or that ublock released a new version and you have it outdated.
Or also that you have the filters not updated. Even to me it happened years ago with Icecat (it was out of support) and ublock no longer supported it.
Check in Ironfox or Fennec if it works for you. Or try an older version of ublock
But to watch YouTube use Newpipe or Pipepipe which has SponserBlock.
Best regards
No every extension is not working. It says
Abcd(extension name) could not be verified aa secured and has been disabled.
Any fix for this? They are old devices with 2gb ram and old processors so browser is fine instead of new apps.
This sounds like you got bit by the root cert expiration that happened on 14Mar2025. There is more explanation at https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1j99guu/how_often_do_firefox_root_certificates_expire/?rdt=47561 in particular the note by user zl38
Try installing the updated cert, it can be downloaded from https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/blob/master/security/manager/ssl/addons-public.pem
note a newer browser update should have this builtin
Alternately use about:config to set xpinstall.signatures.required to false and
extensions.langpacks.signatures.required to false

Thank you. How to install that newer certificate from github in mull in a phone?
Unlike desktop browsers, I couldnāt find a way to install it to the browser itself, it would have to go at the system level in android.
In Mull, go to Settings->About Mull. Tap the logo several times to enable debugging. Back up, then re-enter settings, there should be more items in the menu now. Tap Secret Settings, them move the slider for āUse third party CA certificatesā.
Go to that github page for the .pem file. Download it and save it as .pem format. Select it in a file manager (I used Ghost Commander), possibly longpress and choose to open with Certificate Installer. Or you could go through the android settings menu to install it. You might need to move it from browser downloads folder to the SD card or wherever your version of Android wants to read it from.
Android will probably make you set a lock screen first, though. I was a little surprised that my phone let me un-set the lock after the cert was installed, without forcing me to delete the cert first.
If Mull is dead, why not let it R.I.P?
