For those of you using Nightly Firefox, you'll notice that development has proceeded enough that addons incompatible with WebExtensions are now disabled by default (at least, that's true for me; they may be staggering the rollout). I noticed that my old version of uBlock Origin was no longer working, though the page at https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Firefox-WebExtensions notes that a WebExtensions version is under development. If, like me, you had no idea that addons.mozilla.org even offered a development channel for addons, then here's how you can install the new version today: go to the uBlock Origin page on AMO ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/ ), scroll all the way to the bottom, expand "Development Channel", and use the button there to add it to Firefox.
