lol @ the addons page stating that the uBlock Origin webext version from github is a legacy addon....

The only addon I have which isn't is the Chrome version of https everywhere that I installed

I asked the developer of the patch that added the Legacy designation for add-ons about uBlockO. uBO is a hybrid Webextension and the developer said it was intentional to call it a Legacy add-on. Hybrids are temporary until made into real WE's.

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases has a 100% full webextensions version of uBlock Origin, and that's the one still showing as legacy. Unless that has embedded webextension inside the full blown webextension?

Is anyone else having problems with image permissions and the latest nightly inbound? Individual domains are not blocking images when that's what it's configured to do in Page Info/Permissions. The only way to stop images from loading is to set permissions.default.image to 0 but that's overkill.

Since nightly hasn't been updated for a week I don't know when this started but it's with e10s off.

I have the latest uBO webext version v1.12.3.1 and it's still a hybrid. There is a webextension folder inside of the xpi along with an install.rdf. I suspect having the install.rdf makes an add-on Legacy. I'm sure it will eventually be converted to a pure Webext.

Yes, it will be hybrid until all users of uBO from AMO have their uBO settings migrated to webext-compatible storage. So this means I need to publish the hybrid version way before FF57, to allow enough time for everybody to have their settings migrated.

I can't publish to AMO before FF54 is out, since one key API is not available before this version: onCreatedNavigationTarget.
