Hola, your add-on seems to be broken with multiprocess Firefox (e10s). If you have any questions about e10s support, just drop by the #e10s IRC channel on irc.mozilla.org or ask Ally on this bug. MDN also has a good introduction: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Working_with_multiprocess_Firefox

Hola extension is a botnet[1] and it's blocked on AMO[2], so probably a WONTFIX. https://www.google.com/search?q=Hola+botnet https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hola/
No longer blocks: e10s-addon-exceptions

Only one version of Hola is blocked due to a crashing problem. The listing on AMO is disabled, but that doesn't mean the add-on is entirely blocked. Given recent news, I'm not sure if we're still interested in it being compatible.
We would need evidence that the add-on is doing something malicious. I've seen some reports about the software being exploited as a botnet, but I don't know if that's intentional, if the developers are planning to fix that, or what part the add-on plays in all of that.
