List of files installed by package www-plugins/passff

As far as I understand the separation of passff-host and passff the later one should install the firefox addon.
However after installation and restart of www-client7firefox-65 no add-on is loaded.

Since the add-on from "kde-plasma/plasma-browser-integration" is loaded I compared the installed files. While plasma-browser-integration installs "/usr/lib64/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json" in a mozilla specific location, the passff packages installs into /usr/lib64/firefox/extensions/*.

Used versions:
www-plugins/passff-1.5.1
www-client/firefox-65.0-r1
Comment 1 Haelwenn (lanodan) Monnier 2019-02-15 15:48:23 UTC
www-plugins/passff-host does install to `/usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/` as that’s for the host part, www-plugins/passff only installs the extension (with a runtime dependency on passff-host).

Anyway I can confirm as with a clean profile in Firefox ESR it seems to not be present, I hope this is just mozilla having changed something and not removed system-wide extensions.
