    firefox 60 will restrict webextensions from running on a number of mozilla domains, including sumo.

    if you are using extensions to help you with some tasks on this site & trust them, then you can work around that restriction by manually removing the sumo domain from the extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains preference in about:config: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1445650#c3

    i noticed the issue, when clippings stopped working on the site - features like firefox screenshots will also be affected...

    Thanks for the warning. It looks like bug 1415644 is restricted. Do you have any idea why they webextensions are restricted on specific domains?

    Beta has this list (I added spaces after the commas to make the lines wrap) (all.js):

    accounts-static.cdn.mozilla.net, accounts.firefox.com, addons.cdn.mozilla.net, addons.mozilla.org, api.accounts.firefox.com, content.cdn.mozilla.net, content.cdn.mozilla.net, discovery.addons.mozilla.org, input.mozilla.org, install.mozilla.org, oauth.accounts.firefox.com, profile.accounts.firefox.com, support.mozilla.org, sync.services.mozilla.com, testpilot.firefox.com

    Users probably should be very cautious in editing the list to avoid opening up the possibility of bad extensions data mining or tampering with their Firefox Account data or credentials.
