Firefox stopped supported XUL extensions at some point; only the `web extensions' are supported. I'm guessing Firefox has just upgrade across that boundary for you and so the installed XUL packages are of no use. I think the security-updates APT source may have caused a big jump in Firefox versions because the old one was too hard to patch. Yes, 52→60, if package firefox-esr is what's installed. https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/firefox-esr https://packages.debian.org/buster/webext-ublock-origin exists, but not in stable, only testing, AFAICS. I expect there's many in the same boat as you. I'll look into it more tomorrow if you haven't solved it by then; out of time now. Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting at *new* venue: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2018-10-02 20:00 Check if you're replying to the list or the author Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
