Firefox Addon page does not load.
After recent update, I can not browse any addons. The site https://addons.mozilla.org does not open, shows the connection timed out. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox deleteting all firefox related files. The problem still persists. Other than this all the using browsing I do are all working fine. Just this extensions I cannot browse. When I click the extension icon by default it shows some extensions, I can Install them. The problem is I can not browse them. Even the recomendation tab is also empty.
PS: I am using firefox on manjaro linux.

Just kidding, but try downloading Firefox from Mozilla. Download, unzip, and run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release
Do you have the same issue with Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode#w_how-to-start-firefox-in-4troubleshoot-modesf5safe-modesf

Troubleshoot mode also has same issue. And firefox-bin opens the addons page but does not install.
What desktop? X11 or Wayland? What are you trying to install? Provide a link to the add-on. Also see if you have the same issue under a different user account and maybe try your OS on a live usb stick.
I am on a X11 desktop. I want Grammarly and Mendeley web importer extensions. It's not these two specifically, I can not install any addon. And the same issue persists with different account. I tried resetting, this also did not help.
It is like the add-on site is blocked. It just does not open. Always ends up in 'The connection has timed out'.
I installed the extensions in my macbook's firefox and sync the settings in my linux firefox. This downloaded and installed them. Kind of a workaround.
