It's not feasible for us to do this, because the underlying code has changed too much between versions 60.x and 68.x. Also, I just noticed that you cross-posted this bug report to both bug-gnuzilla and bug-guix. Please do not cross-post. In this case, the bug is not specific to Guix, so I will close the Guix bug. Follow-ups on this bug should go to only. Thanks, Mark

Thank you for this. There are definitely some problems with extensions in the unofficial IceCat preview. I've also noticed behavior that's consistent with what you've described above, and not only with HTTPS Everywhere. At one point I noticed that although I had LibreJS installed and enabled, its icon was no longer visible in the navigation bar, and nonfree JavaScript was being run. Obviously these are very severe problems, and I will look into them as soon as I can. Unfortunately, due to other urgent matters occupying my attention, it will be at least a week, and possibly two, before I can investigate. If anyone is able to investigate these issues in the meantime, I would be grateful. Proposed fixes would of course be ideal, but sharing any observations or proposals that might move the process along would be most welcome. Thanks, Mark

I remember you mentioned something about security fix in the 68 release; may be for now, it would be better to use the older version with only the security patch from v68?

Hello Guix and GNUzilla! P.S. Mark, please don't feel pressured. I am just sumbmitting the issue for awareness and tracking. :-) I was using 'HTTPS Everywhere' add-on, with enabled https-only rule. After v68 upgrade, the icon disappears from the tool bar and https-only rule was not in effect as the browser connects to http sites without warning. But the thing is, under 'extensions' of browser settings, the add-on is there and shows as enabled. Then when I disable and re-enable the add-on, the icon appears and https-only rule becomes in effect. Everytime I restart the browser, the above situation happens all over again.
