I'm glad to hear it, thanks for letting us know!

I see a similar issue on my Guix system, although in my case it doesn't
happen for _all_ bundled extensions, only some of them.
More generally, there are several unresolved problems related to the
bundled extensions in IceCat. Here are my current notes on this:
* Reconsider this somewhat questionable IceCat-specific setting
(in gnuzilla/data/settings.js):
// Do not require xpi extensions to be signed by Mozilla
pref("xpinstall.signatures.required", false);
* These bundled extensions are not shown in <about:addons>:
tortm-browser-button@jeremybenthum
disable-polymer-youtube@extension
viewtube@extension
for each one, there are text messages like this printed to
stdout/stderr on launch:
1572735499245 addons.xpi-utils WARN addMetadata: Add-on
tortm-browser-button@jeremybenthum is invalid: Error: Invalid addon ID:
expected addon ID tortm-browser-button@jeremybenthum, found undefined in
manifest(resource://gre/modules/addons/XPIDatabase.jsm:2715:15) JS Stack trace:
address@hidden:2715:15
* These bundled extensions show a big yellow warning in
<about:addons> about being unverified:
jid1-KtlZuoiikVfFew@jetpack (GNU LibreJS)
SubmitMe@0xbeef.coffee (Reveal hidden HTML)
address@hidden
address@hidden
* These bundled extensions look okay in <about:addons>, but I
haven't tested them:
goteo@0xbeef.coffee
DMCAreg@0xbeef.coffee
google_drive@0xbeef.coffee
FreeUSPS@0xbeef.coffee
rnrMcDonalds@0xbeef.coffee
rsf@0xbeef.coffee
* This bundled extension looks okay in <about:addons>, but has been
reported to be broken by a user:
SimpleSumOfUs@0xbeef.coffee
> 2. about:rights brings up an XML parsing error message.
I see the same problem on my system.
Thanks very much for reporting these issues, Johannes!
Regards,
Mark
