SSL Key exchange, Signature info is unavailable for addons after the last update

Hello,
I would like to know how to solve the problem , after the last update, all add-ons can not get information about Cipher Suite
Key exchange , Signature, etc unavailable in addons like SSleuth https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ssleuth/ and Calomel SSL Validation https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... alidation/
Probably I need to change some options in the about:config ?
The previous version of the Basilisk worked perfectly, I do not want to roll back but apparently I'll have to if I do not find a solution.
Please, help.
Thanks

Fixed Firefox-inherited SSL status ambiguity. SSLStatus.CipherName now actually displays the name. The full suite is still available in the (new) property CipherSuite.
The difference is in the strings that are created: nsISSLStatus.cipherName (it is used - but this is not a full string now)
and nsISSLStatus.cipherSuite (this is the original string)

Extensions need to be aware of the (proper!) handling of SSL statuses in UXP.
Plastering the raw suite in the cipherName field was a Mozilla bug (typo) but due to peer pressure from people who wanted to see this raw string in the Page Info -> Security dialog in the relevant bug, Mozilla never fixed this. We did.
If extensions want to be compatible with the originally intended implementation as carried in UXP and all its applications, they need to check cipherSuite to get the suite string for analysis.

I'm not an addons developer and I do not seem to be able to make changes to their code.
If I correctly understood that I will not be able to force to work any of addons because of changes in the Basilisk last update.
There is no chance?

For "Calomel SSL Validation", just fix one line of code: chrome/content/calomelsslvalidation.js - line: 560:
