Yes, but only one. It didn't need multiple restarts until a few months ago.
After one restart, I'll see something like both old and new versions
appearing in the Add-ons tab, then after another restart the old version
will be gone.

I've seen the issue in every version of Windows between XP and 10, but only
in the last few months. Most likely the same issue affects the Fedora
version as well (I probably didn't see it in Fedora until recently since the
Fedora version was at 4.0.3 until about a month ago) and is caused by some
problem with HTTPS Everywhere and has nothing to do with the OS.
