The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Installer' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Installer

Does the problem still happen if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? (Safe Mode disables add-ons, extensions and themes, hardware acceleration and some JavaScript stuff in order to exclude some possible reasons for problems.) See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode
And does this also happen with a new and empty profile? See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems#w_6-create-a-new-firefox-profile

Definitely not part of the installer. I've reassigned this to WebExt :: General so that the relevant team can triage further.

For some reason enabling and disabling safe mode fixed the problem for me

Hello,

I could not reproduce the issue on the latest Release (94.0.1/20211103134640), nor Nightly (96.0a1/20211109190508) under Windows 10 x64 and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Installed several add-on from addons.mozilla.org and each time the extension installer dialog showed up.

There's not enough information to work with in this bug.
