As far as my experience goes: Firefox does not support centrally
installed extensions, Firefox ESR does support centrally installed
extensions, Thunderbird does not support centrally installed
extensions.I solved my thunderbird problem with a policies.json file:
{
"policies": {
"Extensions": {
"Install": [
"file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla
Thunderbird/extensions/[email protected]",
"file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla
Thunderbird/extensions/@unitedstatesenglishdictionary.xpi",
"file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla
Thunderbird/extensions/[email protected]",
"file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla
Thunderbird/extensions/[email protected]",
"file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla
Thunderbird/extensions/[email protected]"
],
"Uninstall": [],
"Locked": [
"[email protected]",
"@unitedstatesenglishdictionary",
"[email protected]",
"[email protected]",
"[email protected]"
]
}
}
}
which seems to work for me (I still use the 32-bit version of
Thunderbird, I put updated xpi versions in the same location with every
upgrade of thunderbird and those upgrades get installed too).
Best regards

In chel di` si favelave...
I've found (with Firefox), that I can only get some centrally installed
extensions to load if I give the xpi file the name of UUID of extension - e.g.
something like:
{3d7fec2e-0469-4893-9b16-cdb6738eab93}.xpi
Good.
The UUID might be in the manifest.json file, or if not,
No, no UUID in manifest file.
by looking for a suitable string starting with { and ending with } in the
META-INF/cose.sig and META-INF/mozilla.rsa files ...
There's no META-INF folder in extensions.
Also, if i install 'personally' the extensions (eg, with my yser, in
user folder) they are written as '[email protected]'.
