It was my (possibly failing) recollection that Mozilla
has been signing add-ons with SHA2 (and SHA1
for compatibility) for a few years now.  Is this just
an issue because Mozilla has not re-signed existing
add-ons (which while is obviously not something to
be taken lightly, because they do control the primary
distribution point(*) should be at least theoretically
possible to do a bulk re-signing, and probably a
good thing to do to avoid needing to downgrade
their security stance), or is Mozilla not signing
with SHA2 as I thought?



(*) Yes, there are other distribution points for
add-ons other than Mozilla itself, and they, too,
would need to consider such re-signing.
