Comment:

 Thanks for reporting!

 The problem is that we were setting the app version to Tor Messenger's,
 rather than Instantbird's, so the add-on manager considered it invalid for
 that version.

 Fixed in https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-messenger-
 build.git/commit/?id=ec41e467065ab4c8d5b64e0b2b8f16fe5c1a2871

 That patch should go out in next week's update.  If you want to get this
 working sooner, you download the add-on from the page you linked to above.
 Extract it (rename .xpi to .zip, and unzip).  Edit the file called
 `install.rdf`,

 {{{
         <em:minVersion>0</em:minVersion>
         <em:maxVersion>*</em:maxVersion>
 }}}

 Then, inside the extracted directory, run `zip -r
 mathjax_latex-1.6-instantbird.xpi *` to recreate the .xpi

 You can then install from file, as you did above.
