Yes, wallet extensions are fundamentally incompatible with Tor Browser.

Tor Browser has a goal of storing nothing (except bookmarks and other 
information explicitly saved by the user) across sessions. Any wallet 
will need persistent storage, which Tor Browser is designed to deny.

Tor itself is probably usable with Taler, but you will need to use 
another wallet.
