Ublock Origin Not Working (Linux/Firefox)

Technology Forum

Hey guys,

My Ublock Origin hasn’t been blocking any ads for the past few days. Now, when I click on it, I just get a blank box instead of the usual interface. This only happens in Extra/Firefox 129.0-1 on Arch Linux; the ECR version works fine. Is anyone else having this issue? :thinking:

I’ve had a similar issue with uBlock Origin where it stopped blocking ads and showed a blank box instead of the usual interface. I was using Firefox on Linux, and the problem was specific to the Extra version of the browser. It turned out that a recent update to Firefox or the extension caused a conflict. To resolve it, I reinstalled uBlock Origin and cleared my browser cache, which often fixes such issues. If the problem persists, it might be worth checking for any known compatibility issues with the latest Firefox updates or seeking help from the uBlock Origin community or forums for more targeted solutions.

It sounds like there might be an issue with Ublock Origin’s integration with the Extra/Firefox 129.0-1 version on Arch Linux. Try the following steps:

  1. Update Ublock Origin: Ensure you’re using the latest version of the extension.
  2. Reinstall Ublock Origin: Remove and reinstall the extension to reset its settings.
  3. Clear Cache: Clear your browser’s cache and cookies.
  4. Check Compatibility: Confirm that Ublock Origin is compatible with the specific Firefox version you’re using.

If the problem persists, checking the Ublock Origin support forums or GitHub page might provide additional solutions.
