Firefox WebExtensions

Update: Apparently there are more issues for people using the 32-bit version of Firefox. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1371255#c21. Please report such issues to Firefox devs, there is nothing I can do.

Important: If you are having issue with uBO being irremediably broken with the 1.13.10 update, try:

  1. Un-install uBO
  2. Quit Firefox (be sure Firefox is really no longer in memory)
  3. Launch Firefox
  4. Verify that uBO is really removed in about:addons, otherwise, go to step 1.
  5. Quit Firefox (be sure Firefox is really no longer in memory)
  6. Launch Firefox
  7. Re-install uBO
  8. Don't as me why, I don't know. See issue #2909 / https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1372750 (reportedly fixed in Firefox 56).

If this still does not work, you will have to fall back to re-installing 1.13.8 (legacy version), possibly after repeating the steps above, except step that install 1.13.8 at step 7.

Direct link to 1.13.8: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/685614/ublock_origin-1.13.8-an+fx+sm+tb.xpi.

Once you installed 1.13.8 above, you will have to choose one of two options:

  1. Backup all your settings, then install the pure webext version of uBO from the dev channel on AMO, which is not affected by the root issue. Here is a direct link to that version: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/709305/ublock_origin-1.13.11rc0-an+fx.xpi. Once you have installed the pure webext version, restore your settings from the backup file.

OR

  1. Keep using 1.13.8 until Firefox 56 (in which the root issue is fixed). If you choose this option, you should probably disable the auto-update for uBO. For Android, there is a setting to disable auto-update of extensions, but it applies to all extensions: about:config => extensions.autoupdate.enabled => false.

This is the webext-hybrid version of uBlock Origin to be published on AMO. It's still is marked as "Legacy" in Firefox because of the data migration legacy code present, so as to seamlessly migrate your settings from legacy storage to webext storage.

See Firefox WebExtensions documentation for up to date information regarding the uBO/webext[-hybrid].
