 Replying to [comment:5 cypherpunks]:
 > Also, it absolutely is still a bug that the Tor Browser inherits the
 parent behavior of Firefox of not allowing certain extensions to be
 installed properly based on arbitrary criteria, meaning that this ticket
 should stay open.
 This is incorrect, you *absolutely* can install that extension. Note that
 the Tor Project has no control over the moderation policies on AMO or what
 gets or not posted or removed on AMO.
