Describe the bug [Required]

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install deps with npm i
2. Run the release script with npm run release

Expected behavior

The extension gets packaged successfully, instead I get an npm list error. This can be fixed by using yarn, but I wonder why.

Related to mozilla/pdf.js#13825. Until we upgrade to PDF.js v2.11, use npm v6.
