Hi Thierry,
I made a little test with Firefox ESR 52.8.1.
I used the 32-Bit version for that.
First I re-used an older profile which I used for developing. -> Works.
Then I created a new profile, installed the add-on. -> Works.
(I did not verify the addon in-depth though.)
Do you use the 64-Bit version?
So it might relate to the profile. Maybe it collides with another add-on?
