In anticipation of Firefox dropping support for extension
sideloading[1], we now install extensions directly to
Firefox profiles managed through Home Manager's
'programs.firefox.profiles'
option.
Unfortunately this will most likely trigger an "Existing
file is in the way" error when activating your configuration
since Firefox keeps a copy of the add-on in the location
Home Manager wants to overwrite. If this is the case, remove
the listed '.xpi' files and try again.
This change also means that extensions installed through
Home Manager may disappear from unmanaged profiles in future
Firefox releases.
