So looking at this further, the issue is that the acer_distribution.zip has unzipped language packs so it won't work properly in Firefox 62.

To recreate the Acer install for 62, you need to place properly named XPI files in the distribution/extensions directory.

I'll create a new version of my package for Firefox 62.

I've updated the documentation and added a new package. Please let me know what you think.

The updates are in order.
As per the current test session (link) for 66.0.3 this issue was no longer encountered with the updated(62) files.

Closing the issue with WFM because of this.
