Legacy addon - not working in FF55

Not working in Firefox 55, all ads get past, settings menu buttons have no text, firefox considers it as legacy (since all browsers use a common extension language now)

I am getting the issue as well. AdNauseam works with ff 54 but not with 55.0b it looks like.

It looks like FF is transitioning to a web-extension API that uBO has addressed with "The webext version of uBO is a hybrid, a webext wrapped into a thin layer legacy one, necessary for a seamless transition." See gorhill's comment on gorhill/issues/2576 @dhowe

See also gorhill/issues/2728 and gorhill/issues/622 and Mozilla blog response on transition.

With the current dev tools on the master branch "run-webext" does not come as legacy and run-ff works but says legacy. It may be that we solved the issue with merging with uBlock a while back but will need verification @dhowe @cqx931.

@Silur @dhowe When I started with a fresh version of firefox v55.0b, I was unable to reproduce this issue. v3.3.331 works for me.

Currently, the store version v3.3.331 is not compatible with beyond ff 54. We will need to work on this further @Silur. Thank you for your patience. For now, you can build ADN from source or use a past version of Firefox like v54. See the documentation here

I see the legacy warning, this is not a problem ...

But I don't see the other problems you mention.

Please get to the bottom of this, starting with fresh browsers, and using only standard setup instructions

[dhowe]

'Legacy' should only be a warning, until FF57.

See this note, and follow the links...

@dhowe you were right. In setting up a Firefox, the problem resolved itself. I'm not able to duplicate the issue now.

[dhowe]

Is your note above incorrect then, @greysonevins ?

Currently, the store version v3.3.331 is not compatible with beyond ff 54. We will need to work on this further @Silur. Thank you for your patience. For now, you can build ADN from source or use a past version of Firefox like v54.
