Public bug reported: After upgrading to firefox 80, i found that webext-ublock-origin and webext-privacy-badger not working at all. They do not show on the status bar when starting up firefox but do show in the settings that the addons are enabled. webext-ublock-origin, for instance, is not blocking ads. However when i switch both addons OFF and ON again they immediately shows up on the status bar and start to work properly. But when i reboot the machine, i have to manually switch them OFF and ON to get them working again. This appears to be related to this debian bug https://www .mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg1762004.html
