Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1329731

(WebExtensions :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Mohammed Sadiq]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
Build ID: 20170928210252

Steps to reproduce:

Firefox version: 52.4.0 (64-bit), Debian GNU/Linux (the default packaged version)

0. Installed uBlock origin addon[0]
1. Disabled javascript
    in about:config (set javascript.enabled to false)
2. Restarted Firefox and visited some website.

[0] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/


Actual results:

uBlock origin wasn't working, no ads where blocked, neither my personal per element blocks.

The settings page of the addon isn't working either.


Expected results:

Disabling javascript shouldn't have any effect on installed addons.

This was reported upstream at https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/3083
