I don't speak about FF 'rolling release', but at least for FF ESR AND
Thunderbird centrally installed extensions DOES works, fully for FF,
with some glitches from TB.

As stated in my original email, some TB extensions works:

+ https://addons.thunderbird.net/it/thunderbird/addon/dizionario-italiano/
  copy /y "dizionario_italiano-5.0.0.1webext.xpi" "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Thunderbird\extensions\it-IT at dictionaries.addons.mozilla.org.xpi"
  WORKS

+ https://addons.mozilla.org/it/thunderbird/addon/lookout-fix-version/
  copy /y "lookout_fix_version-3.0.3.xpi" "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Thunderbird\extensions\lookout at s3_fix_version.xpi"
  WORKS

+ https://addons.mozilla.org/it/thunderbird/addon/provider-for-google-calendar/
  copy /y "provider_for_google_calendar-78.0.1.xpi" "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Thunderbird\extensions\{a62ef8ec-5fdc-40c2-873c-223b8a6925cc}.xpi"
  WORKS

But some not:

+ https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/thunderbird/addon/tbsync/
  copy /y "tbsync-2.19.xpi" "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Thunderbird\extensions\tbsync at jobisoft.de.xpi"
  DOES NOT WORK


> I solved my thunderbird problem with a policies.json file:

This indeed works, it is the 'new' way of managing extensions, more
'Chrome like' (right, Mike?), but i prefere the old because in this way
extensions are user-installed and (a little, indeed) hog the user
profile, and i've fine grain control of extensions versions, that are a
bit complex with policies (in my opinion).

Thanks.
