The issue here may be that Firefox is missing something it needs to verify the integrity of the downloaded plugins.

Comment 3 Ian Laurie 2021-12-11 21:33:41 UTC

You can work around this bug by using about:config and toggling xpinstall.signatures.required to false.  

Sadly it must remain false even after the add-ons are installed or you lose them all.

Comment 4 Tomas Pelka 2021-12-14 08:12:29 UTC

new ff build addons are wotking even with xpinstall.signatures.required - true.

Comment 5 Tomas Pelka 2021-12-16 12:53:02 UTC

I added to the Doc Text mention of the current state. Addons will not enable automatically after installing the new rpm, the verification process seems to be triggered on addons install/update only, I'm not aware of how to trigger te addon verification manually.
