Does this only affect add-ons that were installed while running that one specific build?  If so I don't think I need to track this for the 55 release.

All builds with patch from bug #1358846 are affected, so Firefox 55.

After I installed the add-ons from the description of the bug on the next Firefox builds (20170515030205), (20170516122050), (20170517030204) and (20170518030213), then I upgraded to the latest Nightly version, I can confirm this issue is not reproducing anymore.
