Steps to reproduce
- in about:config set "extensions.allowPrivateBrowsingByDefault" to true
- install extension with "incognito": "not_allowed" in their manifest,
e.g. https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/temporary-containers/
Problem:
Extension is not installed with extension file corrupted error message. If extension was already installed prior changing "allowPrivateBrowsingByDefault" flag it will be removed.
Expected:
Extension installed and working properly in not-private mode.
