[Prerequisites]:
- Have a new Firefox profile.
- Have the following prefs. in the "about:config" page (If a preference does not exist, please create it):

- Have the browser console opened

[Steps to reproduce]:
1. Open the browser with the profile from prerequisites and install the "TAAR Experiment" from https://goo.gl/mg6ubo.
2. Go to the "about:addons->Get Add-ons" and install any add-on.
3. Focus the browser console and observe the "addon_id".
4. Focus the about:addons page again and install another add-on.

This issue is no longer reproducible with the latest version of the "TAAR Experiment" add-on (1.0.1) installed, on the latest Firefox release. Verified on Windows 10 x64, Ubuntu 14.04 x64, and Mac 10.12.
