Updating addons failes since version 106.0.2 - addons.update-checker WARN HTTP Request failed for an unknown reason

Hi, since update 106.0.2 I'm not able to update installed addons. It's just telling me that there would be no updates. Checking the console I see "addons.update-checker WARN HTTP Request failed for an unknown reason". I also tried it in troubleshoot mode. It's the same error. Does anyone have an idea?

Chosen solution

I did some further investigating and nailed it down to HTTPS Everywhere being installed (but deactivated). Having this addon installed (also when deactivated) causes this problem. I think it might block the HTTP communication of the addons.update-checker even when deactivated.
