Bug#894750: Checking compatibility of add-ons takes forever

Hello Martin,

What is your version of Debian? What installed add-ons do you have?

I don't have the issue you describe with Firefox ESR on Debian 8 "Jessie".

Firefox developers think also to user of Windows and Mac and you could 
install add-ons outside of the Debian repository so the check shouldn't 
be an issue if it works properly.

Best regards,
Alex.
