Hm. Well it works, but I'm not sure it works "fine". ;)

Anyways - I'm not sure I want to argue this to the death, I see where
you're coming from.

> Actually I just tried the latest version and restore seems to be working correctly. I must have been confused when dealing with all these multiple bug reports or something. Please re-open if it doesn't work for you. Note that you might need to work around bug 919557 first - either by using firefox-esr, or doing `sudo rm /usr/share/webext/umatrix/lib/punycode.js && sudo cp /usr/share/javascript/punycode/punycode.js /usr/share/webext/umatrix/lib/punycode.js`.

Are you sure this is the same bug?

Here if I follow those instructions in buster with 1.3.16, the bug still
occurs, so I don't believe this is strictly related to #919557.
