Quoting Alex ARNAUD : Can I close this issue until you could reliably reproduce it? Or could you investigate more? You can close for now. I'll just reopen, if I have more information.

To help us to figure out this issue, could you remove all your add-ons, downgrade Firefox and upgrade it? And after that, could you tell us if the issue still happen? If no, could you do the downgrade of Firefox, install one add-on and upgrade Firefox to check which add-on could be the culprit? I'm not sure if I'm clear but if you expect the bug to be fixed it could be really helpful if you could investigate this. Also if you could retrieve the previous bug, it could also be helpful. Thank you for your help to make Debian and Firefox better. Best regards, Alex.
Bug#894750: Checking compatibility of add-ons takes forever
Quoting Alex ARNAUD : What is your version of Debian? What installed add-ons do you have? Debian version is "testing". Installed plugins (out of my head): * xul-ext-scrapbook * xul-ext-ublock-origin Also from Debian testing. I don't have the issue you describe with Firefox ESR on Debian 8 "Jessie". IIRC, I already had this problem on Jessie. I even thought, I filed a bug once, but I couldn't find it anymore. Firefox developers think also to user of Windows and Mac and you could install add-ons outside of the Debian repository so the check shouldn't be an issue if it works properly. Maybe the check can be skipped, if only distro-plugins are present. No idea, whether it is easy to find out. What does the check do anyway? Does it try to connect upstream? If so, this would be a privacy breach and must not happen at all or only after explicite opt-in. Cheers

Hello Martin, What is your version of Debian? What installed add-ons do you have? I don't have the issue you describe with Firefox ESR on Debian 8 "Jessie".
