A new 60.6.2esr version came out yesterday, it is not in the Buster 
repos yet.
I enabled Sid, upgraded, and then disabled Sid.

I just installed a new version 60.6.2esr-1~deb9u1 from stable-updates
that fixes this bug for me. I just had to re-enable a few extensions that
had previously become not-enabled and everything seems back to normal.

[david@kablamm ~]$ apt -a show firefox-esr
Package: firefox-esr
Version: 60.6.2esr-1~deb9u1
[...]
[APT-Sources: http://approx:9999/debian stretch-updates/main amd64 Packages

changelog says:
  * New upstream release.
    - Fixes issues with addon signature validation. Closes: #928415, #928449.
    Note: this didn't affect addons installed via Debian packages.

The firefox-esr package in buster also got updated last night, to the
version that was already in sid.
