Firefox: Tools --> Addons 
[*] CanvasBlocker could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled.
[*] Close Button could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled.
[*] Ghostery is ok.
[*] HTTPS-Everywhere could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled.
[*] NoScript could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled.
[*] User Agent Switcher could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled.
[*] User-Agent JS Fixer is ok.

What is the correct way to recover from this new anomaly?

As I don't know your update history, but say you have updated from a
firefox 33 to 43, then some of the plugins has been hold back on legacy
branches, when 43 tries to update them it will keep on looking in the
legacy branch and find no version which supports 43 and decides to
disable the plugin till a day when it finds one or you manually update.

Uninstall the plugin and then install the latest version of it, should
work in most cases, some plugins may not have support for FF43 like
CanvasBlocker, it can be installed anyway, but not sure how well it works.

Simplest answer is to just disable the check for signed xpi extensions.

Put this into your user.js file, for example:
user_pref("xpinstall.signatures.required" false);//signatures not checked

This setting will only work up to Firefox 44, when it will be removed.
The developer versions of Firefox will still have the option though.

Also check your setting for xpinstall.signatures.devInfoURL.
