please check that your settings match your personal preferences before we re-enable Studies, which will happen sometime after 2019-05-13T16:00:00Z

What does this mean? They will start collecting Studies data again on 5/13? Or they will force enable studies on 5/13?

Also I wonder why it took 4 days to release a proper fix.

They will start collecting Studies data again sometime after 2019-05-13T16:00:00Z, if you've got Studies enabled. They're telling everyone who doesn't want it on to turn it off by then.

It took 4 days because it's a tricky issue. Certificates are hard enough to deal with at the best of times… but when everyone's panicking it's so much harder.

Ty. My next browser will not come with studies enabled by default.

Firefox ESR? That doesn't even allow enabling studies, and Screenshots is permanently in offline mode.
