I submitted this question to Stack Overflow almost three months ago and they never helped me so I decided to submit the question here.

Here's the problem. I get a message that pops up that says, "one or more extensions cannot be verified and have been disabled". I know a temporary fix to get these apps working again but the apps always break after so much time. What I do is go in my extensions for my Firefox profile (which is a JSON file) and I use Wordpad to change all the instances of appDisabled": true to appDisabled": false. I also change all the instances of signedState":-1 to signedState":2. The problem is that it keeps changing the false back to true and the 2's back to -1's. I am using Firefox version 56.0.2. Is there any permanent fix that can keep these changes under the current version that I am using? I am getting sick and tired of having to make these changes every day. Also, a couple of key add-ons that I use which are Classic Theme Restorer and unblock Origin keep getting disabling from this issue. I value these add-ons and I would love it if you knew any command prompt that I could put into Wordpad that would make Firefox stop trying to verify add-ons or whatever it does that causes Firefox to disable the add-ons. I welcome any other fix as well. I do want to keep my current version of Firefox and I know the Greasemonkey I use wouldn't work on later versions.

...
appDisabled":true

...
signedState":-1

When appDisabled is true and signedState switches to -1, I get the message saying, "one or more extensions cannot be verified." It also disables the incompatible apps.

What I have tried:

I already tried using Wordpad to change all instances of appDisabled": true to false and signedState":-1 to 2. It would work for a while and then everything reverted back to how it was.

Firefox keeps failing to verify certain apps

Can it be this problem ?

Software progresses and it is not always reverse compatible with tools that were developed for older versions. This is especially the case with free software particularly when a third party is developing against it.

I have experienced this several times over the years with Firefox. I've added things over a decade ago and they don't work with newer versions. I actually have an instance of FF 3.5 installed for some of these tools.

There may not be a "fix" for your perceived problem in the works. Searching Google it looks like some changes were made and Classic Theme Restorer became incompatible.
The best people to help you would be the writers of the software in question- they may have a QA or bug tracker that can help you determine what needs to be done.
