Hello everyone,
I'm experiencing a strange issue with Firefox's Add-ons Manager, and after several troubleshooting attempts, I'm out of ideas.
I performed a completely clean installation of Windows 10 LTSC. Before installing Firefox, I only installed the drivers that Windows installs automatically for my peripherals. I didn't install any third-party software, tweak utilities, antivirus, or anything else.
I then installed the latest version of Firefox, and I noticed the following problem:
From the Add-ons Manager, I cannot open any extension in a new tab.
I've attached screenshots to show the issue.
The extensions themselves work perfectly. I can install them, configure them, enable/disable them, and use them without any problems. The only thing that fails is opening an extension's details in a new tab from the Add-ons Manager.
The issue occurs both when:
- Middle-clicking an extension. - Right-clicking an extension and selecting "Open Link in New Tab."
In both cases, Firefox opens a new tab displaying the following error:
«Firefox can't connect to the server at "addons://detail/[extension-name]".»
I originally noticed this during a previous Windows installation, so I assumed I had broken something while tweaking the system. However, after trying the common solutions I found online without success, I decided to perform another completely clean installation of Windows.
The problem is still present, even on a fresh Windows installation with a fresh Firefox installation.
To rule out Firefox Sync, I also deleted my Mozilla account before reinstalling Windows. The screenshots and all the tests were performed before signing in to any Mozilla account, so no settings, extensions, or preferences had been synchronized.
Has anyone experienced this before or knows whether this is expected behavior, a Firefox bug, or something else?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
One additional thing I noticed:
Immediately after installing Firefox and launching it for the first time, the Developer Tools opened by themselves without me pressing any keyboard shortcut or changing any settings. They opened and closed on their own for a short time, and then never happened again.
The exact same thing also happened during my previous Windows installation, before I decided to perform a completely clean reinstall.
I'm not sure if this is related to the Add-ons Manager issue, but I thought it might be worth mentioning.
