Comment (by gk):

 Okay, we need a slight change in our plans and need a -build2 which costs
 us additional time. :(

 We realized that we need make sure the intermediate certificate database
 is available when the new cert gets added and therefore set
 `security.nocertdb` to `false`, then imported the cert and then set the
 `security.nocertdb` back to `false`. Now everything is fine if you leave
 your Tor Browser open and don't do a New Identity. However, if you restart
 your browser `security.nocertdb` makes sure the saved intermediate
 certificates are not loaded. Thus, after some time when the signature is
 re-checked the new intermediate certificate is not available and the
 extensions get disabled again.

 Thus, the deployed fix from Mozilla is essentially not compatible with
 `security.nocertdb` being enabled. I've filed
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1549344 for that.

 Meanwhile we do a new build with `security.nocertdb` disabled, stay tuned.
