[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#917863: webext-privacy-badger: Loaded but inoperable

[Bruno Kleinert]

Package: webext-privacy-badger
Version: 2018.12.17-1
Severity: important

Hi,

in Firefox ESR (currently 60.4.0esr-1) the pluget appears as if it is
successfully loaded, but when browsing the web it seems to do nothing.
I.e., it doesn't show any trackers on any website where I know it will
find some, nor does it show its own version information when clicked on
the badger symbol in the button bar.

When I build and install version 2018.12.5-2 from 
https://salsa.debian.org/webext-team/privacybadger.git, it works as
expected: It shows trackers it detects and displays its version
information.

However, in Firefox (non-ESR, currently 64.0-1) privacy badger works as
expected, so it seems related only to Firefox ESR.

Cheers - Bruno
