1599447 - Addon-Manager doesn't list all installed extensions

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect, P3)

Description

[Paul Heil]

Attachment: Image of about:addons from FF71.0b12

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:70.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/70.0

Steps to reproduce:

Open about:addons

Actual results:

Not all installed extensions are listed in the enabled section. (Not shown anywhere)

Expected results:

All installed extensions should be listed. The circled addon icons are coincidentally both my unlisted extensions.

Additionally when you right click the icons and select 'manage extension' the resulting screen is blank.

If you open the browser console (Ctrl+Shift+J) and try Manage Extension do you see any errors?

Does this persist across Firefox restarts and it's always the same extensions? Do the extensions appear in the Extensions section of about:support?

Comment 3

[Paul Heil]

There is a CSP error for menupopup.js, but that's probably not related. This persists accress restarts and it is always only my three unlisted extensions. (Third icon is not in attached image, I can't actually find the icon for it... it's not in overflow) I'm unable to reproduce on my Windows 10 machine by installing the extensions so it maybe related to having them already installed while upgrading between nightly releases?

The extensions are not listed in about:support
The extensions are listed in about:debugging

Comment 4

That is quite interesting. Can you add the extension id from one of those (you can see it in about:debugging) to this snippet and run it in the browser console and let me know what it says?

(await AddonManager.getAllAddons()).find(e => e.id == "<addon-id>").type

It says "webextension" for all three. Here are some other attributes that are different than Bitwarden if it helps.

Thanks for the info. Looks like these add-ons should've been migrated to the "extension" type at some point. Adding this to our group triage list.

Hey Paul, can you also please confirm if there is anything unusual about that profile, did you not use it for a number of firefox version, did you move it between machines or firefox trains (from Nightly to Beta/release or vice-versa)?

Comment 8

[Paul Heil]

I don't recall the specific origin of the profile, but I probably copied from a backup of my main release profile when the machine was re-imaged maybe a year ago. This could also be a really old profile since I think I saw one of the attributes from comment 5 said the install date was ~2015 or something. I don't typically use Firefox on this specific machine, normally only opening every now and then to update and test my extensions on the latest build. So I could have not used it between beta updates, though probably not a jump of more than a couple beta releases.

If it helps I noticed today that the extensions in question are not able to be updated and they are stuck on versions that I released March 24, 2017
