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`.

I'm not sure how, but let's see.

I've got Firefox ESR 60.5 runnin in Debian buster:

firefox-esr:
  Installé : 60.5.0esr-1
  Candidat : 60.5.0esr-1
 Table de version :
     60.5.1esr-1 501
          1 https://deb.debian.org/debian sid/main amd64 Packages
 *** 60.5.0esr-1 502
        500 https://deb.debian.org/debian buster/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
firefox:
  Installé : (aucun)
  Candidat : 65.0.1-1
 Table de version :
     65.0.1-1 1
          1 https://deb.debian.org/debian sid/main amd64 Packages

I have uMatrix 1.3.16 running from addons.mozilla.org with a lengthy
list of rules. It works correctly: export/import work, so does
backup/restore.

I have a somewhat heavily customized Firefox configuration as well, but
I'm not sure which specific config could affect the debian package (as
opposed to the app).

To reproduce the problem, I do the following:

 1. uninstall ("remove" in the addons menu) uMatrix
 2. quit Firefox
 3. apt install webext-umatrix
 4. start firefox
 5. disable and enable the uMatrix extension (otherwise the preferences
    do not show up)
 6. go in the preferences
 7. try to import the backup (seem to work but has no effect)
 8. try to import the "export" (no effect)

Let me know if you need more information.
