HI, could your security software be blocking anything ?
Have you tried Firefox in Safe Mode ?
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:
- all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
- default theme is used (no persona)
- userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder)
- default toolbar layout is used (file: localstore-safe.rdf)
- Javascript JIT compilers are disabled (prefs: javascript.options.*jit)
- hardware acceleration is disabled (Options > Advanced > General)
- plugins are not affected
- preferences are not affected
TEST''''is issue still there ?
As the next step will possibly be a Refresh.
With a Legacy extension this message would suggest that the extension's XPI file needs to be unpacked. I don't know whether this still applies to WebExtensions. Dictionaries are another example of a file that needs to be unpacked.
