Hi.
I'm having trouble installing extensions to "firefox91-91.6.0" according to pkgin.
I was trying to install "privacy badger" and "HTML editor Webstudio for webpages"
I tried it as normal user and as root.
Thanks
NetBSD 9.2 (GENERIC) amd64 Firefox 91.6.0esr

The problem was that I could not install any extensions in the Add extensions menu to firefox but I managed to somehow get "privacy badger" added to firefox as a user.
Just now I managed to get "privacy badger" added to my normal user account, I did that by
manually downloading the "privacy badger .xpi" file,
going to "Add-ons Manager",
Selecting the "Settings cog" in the right hand corner
Then selecting "Install Add-on from file" from the menu.
Selecting "Debug Add-ons" from the menu.
That managed to get "privacy badger" extension running on my normal user account on Firefox 91.6
Will try later with some html editor extensions with firefox
8 days later
No issue on -HEAD with Firefox 97.0.2 (from 2022Q1). Got 3 addons installed from the Add-on manager.

True, true. We would've heard loud yells from the southern hemisphere.
However, there is a problem with the ESR:
/root# pkgin -y install firefox-esr

You know it! 
No issues on my end, I've hacked away at Firefox with some custom userChrome.css and mozilla.cfg settings, plus a shit-ton of extensions. It's still the only usable browser it seems.
puhaTek Try this:
$ sudo chown -R my_user:my_group ~/.cache/mozilla ~/.mozilla
$ find ~/.cache/mozilla ~/.mozilla -type d -exec chmod 0750 {} +
$ find ~/.cache/mozilla ~/.mozilla -type f -exec chmod 0640 {} +If that doesn't work, start afresh:
mv ~/.cache/mozilla ~/.cache/mozilla.0
mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.04 months later
Finally managed to get this installed. I've managed to get NetBSD updated to 9.3 and
pkgin install firefox-101.0.1
After searching on google today for bsd firefox extensions problem I found this link which suggested using ALT + A when selecting the EFF Privacy Badger extension when using twm as a window manager.
Thank you for all your help and support :)
