Cannot install add-ons in Thunderbird

As described in [question] I am unable to install addons in Thunderbird: when attempting to install an addon, either via the in-app browser or via a file, a pop-up window appears for which "Add" and "Cancel" buttons do nothing (there is no way to move or remove the window without killing the process).

I am opening this question as this problem still persists over a year and many versions later.

Thunderbird V. 115.11.1-1 on 6.9.3-arch1-1 with Sway WM

That is about all I can tell you really.

Using a flatpak version perhaps and encountering sandbox issues?

Hi Matt, Thanks, I am using the official version from the Arch repositories https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/thunderbird/

The only message that appears in the console log when trying to interact with the window is PopupNotifications._onButtonEvent: Button click happened before the window was focused
