User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:146.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/146.0

Steps to reproduce:

Going to Firefox Addon Store, display the details of the browser extension

Actual results:

In the details of the browser extensionm the Addon-ID is not displayed.

Expected results:

Feature request: In the details of the browser extension the Addon-ID is displayed.

Use case: I am an admin in a big company, and I need quick and easy to find the Addon ID of an extension for Firefox to be able to put this ID into Firefox group policy white- or blacklist to prevent / allow users to install specific addons.

Currently I have to download / install the addon, scan my PC with our software inventory tool to get the ID. And then remnove the addon again. Yes, there are also other ways, (download the file, uncompress the archive, ...) but this is the fastest and easiest at the moment. For Chrome and Edge I can see the extension ID by just opening the addon store and look into the URL, this is not the most elegant way but it's still doable. Please just display the extension ID in the Firefox addon store details. This would save a lot of time and complexity in my work. Thank you!
