[SOLVED] Firefox 57 and uBlock Origin

I've just upgraded to firefox 57.0-1.  Seeing uBlock Origin's icon wasn't on the re-arranged Location Bar I upgraded the AUR package to firefox-ublock-origin 1.14.18-1.  Stopping and starting Firefox still doesn't have the icon appear.  Browsing loads large images and ads, i.e. it's impractical.  The Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions page shows uBlock Origin with a Disable button.

How do I get uBlock Origin active once again?

Reinstall it in Firefox. Had to do that with the last update of Firefox (not to 57).

I didn't re-install it.  I disabled a couple of other Add ons and re-started.  Then uBlock Origin appeared.  https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/ … -ubowebext suggests Firefox might not run multi-process if legacy Add ons are enabled, and that uBO works best in MP.  This might help others.

Thanks, done.  I post here so infrequently, I forget the convention.
