If the extension is already installed before the browser's first start, the extension will fail to start.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install the extension by extracting the xpi to /usr/share/mozilla/extensions/{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}/{2b10c1c8-a11f-4bad-fe9c-1c11e82cac42}/
  2. Delete or move ~/.mozilla/
  3. Run Firefox

Symptoms

The extension fails to start with the following error message in the terminal:
