Possibly you just need to force it to reverify again. If this is still the state of things try setting `app.update.lastUpdateTime.xpi-signature-verification` to 0 in about:config, and then restarting your browser.
But no guarantees. Do you have reason to believe the addons are still installed?

That worked, thank you!
As a side note, the value for that setting got reset after I restarted firefox.
Also, I uninstalled the fix by simply removing the extension in about:addons. Is this the correct way to do it?

Yep, you're all good. I'm surprised it let you remove the fix from about:addons but I wouldn't worry about it.
That value resetting is expected, it's the time when Firefox thinks it last checked signatures, it resetting just means this convinced it to recheck as intended.
Reinstalling seems to work, but there are certain extensions that have data I do not want to lose. For example, if I reinstall ubock origin, I will lose all of my dynamic filtering rules.
