I am using FF 60.0.1 with a several extensions: (Decentraleyes, HTTPS Everywhere, Lastpass, uBlock Origin, Priceblink, Google searchlink fix, Cookie autodelete)

I noticed a bunch of files that are all named tmp-(3 characters).xpi They range in size from 13 KB to 11 MB; the dates go back as far as October 2017.

Would it be safe to delete them? Thank you!

Hi, yes it would be safe to delete them as they are temp files.

If have problems deleting them boot into safe mode and try.
