uBlock Origin 1.13.9rc5

Notes

Firefox WebExtensions

I pushed uBO/webext -- the pure WebExtension version -- to dev channel of uBlock Origin on AMO.

If you wish to migrate from 1.13.8 (uBO/legacy) to uBO/webext but want to keep all your settings/data, just go through the intermediate step of installing uBO/webext-hybrid before installing uBO/webext:

1. Nightly only: Open about:config, toggle extensions.legacy.enabled to true.
2. Install 1.13.9b7 from dev channel on AMO.
   • Ensure that your data has been migrated after 1.13.9b7 is first launched -- just peruse your settings to see if they are all fine.
3. Now you can install 1.13.9rc4 from dev channel on AMO.
4. Nightly only: You can reset the setting extensions.legacy.enabled to its default value in about:config.

See Firefox WebExtensions documentation for up to date information regarding the uBO/webext[-hybrid].
