Its going to be interesting to see what happens with the Firefox extension bug when the east coast starts waking up.

I was able to get extensions working again by disabling xpinstall.signatures.required in the Firefox config. Seems to only work on Linux as Mozilla removed the setting in their builds.

All of my Firefox extensions just got disabled and it looks like I cannot reinstall them.

I don't get the 5G hype, 4G works fine (even 3G did really) and it seems like 5G might not even work very well outside of urban areas.

There are a plethora of other technological changes I'd much rather telco's focus on than this, like IPv6 for example.
