After installing Fedora (which uses Wayland by default) in Virtual Box, downloading Firefox Release v83.0, installing the uBlock Origin extension (the only one I could recognize), this issue would not reproduce, nor would it with many other random installed extensions.
@theevilskely@tutanota.com: I will try to find a proper installation of Fedora to be tested as well, but in the meantime, please give me some more information:
- What operating system did you reproduce this issue on?
- If it isn't a Fedora, how did you open a Wayland window?
- What are the other extensions that you used in the issue's reproduction demo?
Thank you!

Thanks for the report!
WebRender on MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 is broken in Firefox 83: All addon panels are empty most of the time. :/
It will be fixed with Firefox 84 (currently Beta).
You can either disable gfx.webrender.all on about:config, or start Firefox without MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 and GDK_BACKEND=wayland env vars.

I was using Fedora.
By default, Firefox opens an X11 window, despite being in a Wayland section (see about:support -> Window Protocol, it will say x11).
So you will need to run with the MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 environment variable: flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox --env=MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1, and it should launch it in a pure Wayland window.
Anyway, using the beta version fixes it, so I started using it.
