Comment:

 No, extension updates are not disabled in a vanilla Tor Browser. And as we
 don't want to get updates for Torbutton and Tor Launcher via the built-in
 extensions update mechanism we point the update URLs to https://127.0.0.1.
 But that is failing due to #10419. So, this is no defect currently but
 intentionally implemented that way.
