Steps to reproduce:

Install YouTube High Definition add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/ro/android/addon/youtube-high-definition
Access "Add-ons" from the menu and select "YouTube High Definition" add-on. It doesn't show the settings in the add-on. I also observed this behavior with other extensions.

Actual results:

The add-on settings are not displayed.

Expected results:

The add-on settings should display.

Comment 1

This looks like a bug in the extension itself. We're going to reach out to the developer.

Comment 2

[Arturo Mejia]

As noted in comment 1, this appears to be a bug in the extension itself rather than in Firefox for Android. The issue is still reproducible on the latest Nightly build, but user reviews on AMO also report similar settings visibility issues across platforms, further suggesting this is an extension-side problem.

:willdurand, were you able to follow up with the extension developer? If so feel free to link any further information for future reference.

Since this is outside of Firefox's control, closing as WONTFIX. If the extension is updated and the issue persists specifically in Firefox for Android, please reopen with steps to reproduce.
