Firefox is once again refusing to add extensions.
What version of Firefox actually allows you to add extensions? I'm running the most current version of Tumbleweed that ships with 144.0. Attempts to add extensions just sit there doing nothing until I close the tab. This sort of worked some time ago (I forget the version) but the inability of Firefox to allow add-ons/extensions is getting to be a joke. There are other browsers out there, ya know.

Here's what happens:
- I go to the extensions page.
- Search for an extension, say, "cache".
- "Clear_cache" is displayed at the top of the list.
- I click on "Install" and nothing happens. The tab does nothing until I manually close it.
I have let the so-called install process run overnight only to find that Firefox crashed sometime during the night. This has been going on for some time on different versions of Firefox on Tumbleweed on my laptop as well as my desktop. I'm currently on 144.0.2 which is, supposedly, the latest and "greatest". It doesn't work on the ESR version either.
What, if any, Firefox configuration files could be the problem? And where would they be located? Another support page listed four preferences files but only one of them existed under my $HOME directory.
i was able to add it to the distro and Mozilla versions with no issue. see screenshot What desktop? X11 or wayland?

Is there a way to wipe all traces of FF from my $HOME directory tree. Perhaps a completely fresh start will solve the problem. No old profiles, etc.
