How to reproduce: Grab an oxt (in my case I was working on a new spellchecker oxt which you can grab in Bug 108439) Double-click the oxt and agree to license. If I go with Restart Now, when LO restarts, I am asked to accept the license again and to ... restart again. I can only get out of it by doing Restart Later and then manually restarting, which doesn't re-activate the installation screen.
It has also happened to me before, I believe that with the LanguageTool extension (the daily version). After we select to restart, sometimes it attempts to reinstall and one has to press "CANCEL" or it will repeat the loop over and over again.

Thank you for reporting the bug. To be certain the reported issue is not related to corruption in the user profile, could you please reset your Libreoffice profile ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) and re-test? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present

Please change it back to > 'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present I have just reproduced it in Windows 10 x64: 1) I have the quick start enabled and exited it on the trayicon area. 2) I double-clicked on the LanguageTool extension: https://languagetool.org/download/snapshots/?C=M;O=D LanguageTool-20170618-snapshot.oxt 3) it opens a blank document and the extension manager 4) Press okay to install the OXT 5) After it is installed, pressed okay, it will ask to restart and select okay 6) it will reopen the document and the extension manager and ask to install the OXT again notice I already had 2) installed before doing this whole steps. I haven't tried the safe mode. x1sc0, Can you follow the steps to see if it happens to you too? Thanks! Kind regards,
If I rename user to user-old as per the instructions you linked, installing the oxt over an existing oxt does not cause the loop. Is there a way of fixing this loop issue for users without having to delete the existing user profile?
New per Marco's result.

The extensions live in the profile directory, so right after profile renaming it is not installed over an existing one. I am assuming version reproduced in, please correct to earliest, if needed.
I first noticed it in 5.3.3.2 (Fresh) but it's possible Marco has had this for longer?
Sorry this bug is not proper. Please give exact steps and versions. From my experience, issue with extensions is their problem, not LO's.

No, that is something Michael or Marco will have to do.
Which bit exactly about the How to reproduce is confusing?
Steps in Windows 10: 1) Download the LanguageTool .OXT V4.1 https://languagetool.org 2) Make sure you have the LO Quickstarter activated and the icon in the tray area 3) Right-click on the Quickstarter icon in the tray icon area and select "close" 4) Now double-click in the LanguageTool .OXT 5) Install it 6) LO will ask to restart 7) It will enter a loop as the Extension Manager will open again. Is it now reproducible?
The other report although newer, is better understood. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 117100 ***
