I just ran «guix install keepassxc-browser-icecat», restarted Icecat and 
I can see it enabled in the list of Extensions. I'm using guix revision 
f1810c8.

Regarding the file «/etc/config.scm», the «guix install» command doesn't 
manage it. As far as I understand, this file is the operating system 
configuration generated by Guix graphical installer.

The «guix install» command is an alias for the «guix package --install» 
command, you can see what happens when it is run in section 5.2 Invoking 
‘guix package’ of the Guix manual.

For what it's worth, I use a Guix System myself and never 
touch «/etc/config.scm». When I first installed the system, I copied it 
to another location in my home folder and rename it «os.scm» (you can 
give it any name), and this is the file I edit whenever I want to change 
the system configuration to later apply the changes by running «sudo 
guix system reconfigure os.scm».

Hope that helps,
