Description of problem: Violentmonkey is a userscript manager add-on. After updating Firefox (RPM version) to 82.0.2, all my userscripts from Violentmonkey were deleted. I tried to import them from a .zip backup and got this error on console: "Error: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist.". I also tried to install a new userscript, it didn't work. This does not happen on Windows or on previous versions of Firefox (RPM). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Firefox 82.0.2 on Fedora 32 (it seems Fedora 33 is also afected) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: I suppose you could try any of these scenarios: - Scenario A: On Firefox 82.0.2, install a new userscript. Example: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/393967-resize-image-on-open-image-in-new-tab - Scenario B: On Firefox 82.0.1, add some scripts to Violentmonkey and then update to 82.0.2. - Scenario C: On Firefox 82.0.2, try to import a Violentmonkey usercript backup. Actual results: - Scenario A: After clicking the "Install script", button, an empty page is displayed. - Scenario B: All userscripts are deleted. - Scenario C: Userscript backup import fails with "Error: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist." Expected results: - Scenario A: After clicking the "Install script", button, a moz-extension:// Violentmonkey page is displayed to install the script. - Scenario B: All userscripts are preserved. - Scenario C: Userscript backup is imported.

I'm not sure if it's specific to Fedora or Linux in general. Sorry if I did not report this bug correctly.
Please try latest builds - firefox-82.0.2-4.fc34
It works now. All my userscripts were restored too, I didn't lost any data. Thank you very much. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1893474 ***
