We should have removed twm(1) from xenocara a long time ago since there is no developer interest to "modernize" it by implemnting those features.

Please disregard the previous message in this thread: the twm windows manager was the culprit. It seems it is very sensible when it comes to display windows above the main browser window, i.e. pop-up menus, tooltips, overlays menu, etc. This twm got me again, so i came back to cwm and add-on installs fine.
firefox - uBlock Origin extension not installing
Hello, Latest amd64 snapshot here, Firefox is not able to install uBlock Origin extension. I went to the Add-ons and Themes menu, Extensions and clicked Add ... then a confirmation, waiting, then confirm again , then stop and coming back to install page with Add button ... over and over again. It worked before, but I didn't track the versions. I'm curious if someone experienced the same and if it is because of firefox itself or is it just a theme incompatibility. Thanks
