Possible bug: Installation of an addon wont work if first tried in a private browsing window

Iron Contributor

A possible bug :

If you try to install an addon (from https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/insider-addons) on an inPrivate window, you will get this error :

 

Error1.png

 

The problem i found is that, if you switch right after to a "normal" browsing window & try to install the same addon you will get this one :

 

Error2.png

 

 

Of course, the said addon has not been installed.

Getting around this error for now require closing all browser windows & restarting it to try again (from a normal window) to effectively install it.

Found using Version 75.0.130.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)

Hope this help, & good luck :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:

 

EDIT: Shared this info using the "Send feedback" form, & included a link to this thread for more details.

EDIT2: Same with the latest build (Version 75.0.131.0 (Official build) canary 64-bit)
