We noticed that temporary extensions UUID are not removed from extensions.webextensions.uuids after restarting the application.
E.g. install temporary extension, restart firefox, check pref value, the UUID is still there.
This is a problem because until very recently Android browsers would install a temporary extension at every startup with a random ID, causing the IDs to accumulate. In a bug report we have a value that is 50k characters long.
It would be nice if temporary UUIDs could be garbage collected.

Is this only happening on Android or also reproducible on Desktop?

Reproduces on all platforms. This is the STR:
E.g. install temporary extension, restart firefox, check pref value, the UUID is still there.

@agi are these temporary installed addons uninstalled on shutdown? That is the only time that the uuid is removed from the map. In any case, if this is fixed, it's low prio to address at this point.
