As the screenshot, at 544kB, is too big to be allowed through, see

Note:

"Works with Thunderbird 68.0a1 - 114.*"

"About this Add-on
THIS ADD-ON DOES NOT WORK IN THUNDERBIRD 115

Due to Supernova changes in Thunderbird, it is no longer possible to 
manipulate columns from an add-on, even with full privileges. There are 
proposed changes to re-enable the feature. Until those changes are 
merged and released, the add-on can't be fixed.

This add-on adds two new columns called "Sender (@)" and "Recipient (@)" in
message list containing full, raw addresses of sender and recipient instead
of just names like in default columns.

This add-on is reimplementation of "Show address only" add-on, which 
stopped working
in Thunderbird 78. This add-on source is heavily inspired by "SFreq" 
add-on source by Jorg K"

So, the Supernova malware makes Thunderbird v115 malware.

Luckily, I did not naively downgrade my installations of Thunderbird to 
the malware edition; v115, on all my systems, so, I can still use the 
superior and trustworthy version 102.15.1 (64-bit), on one of my other 
systems.

It ios unfortunate that due to the malignants responsible for 
Thunderbird v115, I can no longer use Thunderbird on my primary system.

"One computer for this application, one computer for that application, ..."

It is unfortunate that Linux is no longer truly multitasking (well, 
reasonably safely, anyway), needing different computers to run different 
packages.
