Safari Web Extension checkbox missing or not persistent in Safari 26.0.1 on macOS 15.7

I’m observing an intermittent issue with a Safari Web Extension on macOS 15.7 (Safari 26.0.1). After installing the Safari extension from the App Store, it appears under Settings → Extensions, but the enable checkbox is often missing.

Sometimes, after restarting Safari multiple times, the checkbox becomes visible. However, even when I manage to enable the extension, reopening Safari often hides the checkbox again.

However, I don't see this issue in safari 26 with macOS 26

  1. I’d like to know if this behavior is a known issue with Safari 26 or macOS 15.7?
  2. Any workaround available?

This should be fixed in the latest version of Safari Technology Preview and the latest macOS 26.1 Beta.
