XPI packages placed under distribution/extensions are installed only on the initial startup with a new profile. In other words, it is unavailable to install extra more addons after you start using of Firefox. Instead you need to list XPI files on the policy: "Extensions" => "Install". Addons listed there are installed on the next startup even if there is any existing profile. https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates#extensions > Also, I don't want these extensions to be installed in a user's profile > - just loaded from the install tree Sadly it looks impossible anymore on the new way, with official Firefox builds.
