### Describe the Bug
1. install Firefox addon from official firefox/mozilla addons website
2. configure; use "dropbox"
3. Dropbox oAuth - click "Allow"
4. after clicking "Allow" in the Dropbox tab, it auto-opens a new tab: CANNOT CONNECT TO WEBPAGE
https://{...UUID...}.extensions.allizom.org/?code={...}&state={...}
the addon still doesnt receive the auth.
how to fix this in Librewolf?
also can it be reproduced in Firefox (vanilla)?
### Expected Behavior
1. the new tab should NOT:
a) goto an unable to connect page
b) goto ALLIZOM specifically which according to ISUP.ME is DOWN FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST YOU.
2. the addon should be auth'd for dropbox
### To Reproduce
see above.
### Debug log provided
HELPFUL?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Dropbox OAuth flow in LibreWolf 153.0.3-1 on Windows 11, then compare it with vanilla Firefox. Inspect the redirect to the reported extensions.allizom.org URL and the linked Mozilla OAuth discussion; done means Dropbox authorization reaches the addon without an unreachable redirect page.
