This issue is happening with every newly installed add-on, but not with add-ons installed on or before Aug 3, 2024. The add-ons are installed via addons.mozilla.org. To rule out the possibility that it's happening only with specific add-ons, I also installed one of the random recommendations on that page, Augmented Steam which has 54,248 users, and it happens with that one as well.
I'll click Enable, but the prompt appears every time I restart Firefox.
What I've tried (with a restart after each attempt):
- Clear the startup cache
- Delete extensions.json
- Delete compatibility.ini
- Via about:config deleted extensions.databaseSchema and extensions.getAddons.databaseSchema
- Excluded Add-ons from syncing
I've noticed the following in extensions.json for each of the recent add-ons after restart:
- syncGUID changes to presumably random new value
- active changes from true to false
- userDisabled changes from false to true
- seen changes from true to false
