[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#943470: webext-ublock-origin: Version in stable not working after [DSA 4549-1] firefox-esr security update

[Laura Arjona Reina]

Package: webext-ublock-origin
Version: 1.18.4+dfsg-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

After updating Firefox in Debian stable ([DSA 4549-1] firefox-esr security
update), I can use Firefox but the ublock origin extension disappeared.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

With a new profile, I still cannot see the extension.
I have tried to remove and reinstall the package (from stable, version
1.18.4+dfsg-2) but it didn't solve the issue.
I have tried to remove the folder storage/default/moz-extension+++whatever as
suggested in 931640, with no luck.

I have installed the version in testing (1.22.2+dfsg-1), and the problem was
solved for new firefox profiles (although it appears disabled). Then, I have
removed the folder "browser-extension-data" of my old profile, and then ublock
origin also appeared in my old profile (and enabled).

I have then tried to remove the testing version (1.22.2+dfsg-1) and reinstall
the stable version (1.18.4+dfsg-2) but the extension disappeared again.

Thanks
