Thanks for reporting! Indeed I can reproduce this issue with Firefox 64, however Firefox ESR in
testing works for me.

It seems that Firefox either does not follow the symlink in
/usr/share/webext/ublock-origin/css/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf or it silently ignores it. If I
replace the symlink with the real file all icons show up again.

Interestingly this also fixes bug #906911 and the logger window is immediately displayed again. The
simplest solution would be to remove the symlink and to ship fontawesome-webfont.ttf in
src:webext-ublock-origin again.

Regards,

Markus
