Steps to reproduce:

Tried to install an addon from the store.

Actual results:

Blank page after pressing "add to firefox" button. Addon install was not triggered.

Expected results:

A notification asking whether I want to install the addon.

In order to reproduce this you need these setting in about:config:

• fission.autostart – true
• extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains – empty
• privacy.resistFingerprinting.block_mozAddonManager – true (hidden pref)

I understand that the last two are unsupported and "at your own risk", but I figured you still would probably like to know.

Disabling fission fixes the issue. I checked if addons are at fault – disabling them didn't help. I was able to reproduce this on Windows 10 64bit and Windows 8 32bit.
