I've run into this issue on Big Sur and Monterey where certain Safari extensions (and all sideloaded ones) stop loading into Safari. Some work – seemingly only the ones that pop up a confirmation when you activate them:
... but some of the ones installed from the App store (Momentum, Keyword Search) don't load at all. I've also noticed that extensions I've converted from Chrome to work in Safari also don't load.
I tried cleaning Safari completely (including removing all of the apps that had a companion extension, like 1Password) and after a bunch of turning stuff on and off all of the missing extensions came back, for a day. After I logged out and logged back in, however, all of those extensions again disappeared.
If I launch the extension's app (e.g. Momentum) clicking on the "Quit and Open Safari Extension Preferences" button does nothing.
Does anyone have any idea of the workaround or issue here?
