Selenium C#: Getting System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException when I add and extension and start firefox

I have a firefox extension which works pretty well when I use it in java, python and js. However when I use the same extension in C#, it throws an exception. Also, adding a chrome extension in my C# doesn't show any errors.

C#:

using System;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Remote;
using System.Threading;
namespace sel_cs
{
    class MainClass
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            IWebDriver driver = null;
            try
            {
                FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
                FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
                profile.AddExtension("/path/to/firefox-ext.xpi");
                options.Profile = profile;
                ICapabilities capabilities = options.ToCapabilities();
                driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new Uri("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"), capabilities);
                driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.google.com");
                driver.Quit();
            }
            catch(Exception e)
            {
                Console.Write(e);
                driver.Quit();
            }
        }
    }
}

Exception stacktrace:
