@jawadalkassim would you mind share in which version of uBlock are you? You can find it under Settings -> Add-ons Manager-> tap on uBlock Origin -> Details - > Scroll to the bottom -> Version

uBlock Version : 1.25.2

[Amejia481]

We tested on various devices and we are not able to reproduce the issue. Do you mind sharing which sites you are visiting?

[jawadalkassim]

I've uninstalled FF and Reinstalled it again then install uBlock Origin and everything is fine.

I was not able to reproduce the issue with uBlock Origin 1.25.0. Now, after I received uBlock Origin 1.25.2, I have exactly the same issue as the issue opener.

OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition / Android 10
Fenix latest build from 4.0 branch (revision 3dc4582fe08e7f8f9c61f0c21b102ab52567bf75)
All websites are affected.

@cadeyrn would you mind to killing the app and open it again?

[cadeyrn]

Killing the app via the Android recent apps screen does _not_ solve the problem.

[jawadalkassim]

Try Uninstall uBlock and installing it again.

[Amejia481]

@cadeyrn before uninstalling could you try the "force stop" button on the "App info"?

[Amejia481]

@cadeyrn this is the button that I mentioned

I tried the "force stop" button, but without success.

[Amejia481]

Thanks for the reports, we are working on finding the root of the issue, I think so far the workaround will be to uninstall and install again sorry about that.

[colorsakura]

me too

[Amejia481]

Looks like disabling and enabling the add-on back is another workaround.
Settings -> Add-ons Manager -> tap on uBlock Origin -> Switch button. Let me know if it works

[cadeyrn]

Yes, uBlock Origin works again after disabling and enabling again. Uninstalling and installing the add-on did not help (I tried this before).

It looks like the issue could be on the GeckoView layer, I opened the below bug to investigate

On my two devices uBO 1.25.2 works fine with the latest nighty-builds.
The only thing I did was to refresh the filter lists on uBO a few days ago.
My devices are:

Huawei P smart 2017 (Android 9.1.0, Stock)
Samsung Galaxy Tab A6 SM-T580 (Android 8.1.0, Stock)
