 This started when I updated whatever the current version of FireFox 66.0.3
 (x64) for Windows. Please see Ticket 1548973 at mozilla.org.
 Upon update, reboot and starting 66.0.3, it reports that some addons have
 been disabled. Upon investigation, ALL addons have been disabled. In
 addition, the Addon Manager will not load any previously installed addon
 and reports that there is a connection issue.
 Upon even more investigation, if you right click the "Add to Firefox" and
 choose open in New Tab (or New Window), an error message stating that
 Firefox has blocked the install request of the addon.
 This situation even survives an uninstall of 66.0.3 -and- both a fresh
 install of 66.0.3 and a fresh install of 65.
 It appears that there is also some relationship between any addon
 installed before the update/install of FireFox. Any new addon will
 install. By "new" I mean any addon that had not previously beeen
 installed, installs without issue.

 So, here's how this has anything to do with TORBrowser. Somewhere in the
 process described above, I checked to see if TORBrowser was effected. And,
 it was (see attachment). I cannot say at this point that 8.08 was running
 or not during any part of the process described above. However, I did
 delete the entire sub directory for 8.08, reboot and reinstall 8.08. The
 attachment was created after this fresh install.
