Ublock: Firefox Mobile (Aurora) - Show Dashboard Button missing

[Stefan-Code]

Using Firefox Mobile (Aurora) 46.0a2 (2016-02-14) on Android 4.4.4 and the latest ublock from the firefox addons store, the _Show Dashboard_ button in the "Your Addons" section does not appear, please see the screenshot below. Restarting the browser as well as disabling and re-enabling ublock had no effect. Apart from the missing _Show Dashboard_ ublock works fine (i.e. is blocking requests). The link does appear for me on Firefox Mobile 43.0 from F-Droid.

can you still access uBlock0 popup window from vertical dot menu?
For temporary solution, tap on top of popup ui that show plugin name and version to go dashboard.

[Stefan-Code]

Yes, that works.

I can confirm this issue.

• Fennec 48 and uBO 1.8.4 on Android 4.4.2: No problems.
• Fennec 48 and uBO 1.8.4 on Android ? on Samsung Galaxy Tab A: Neither the "Show Dashboard" nor the "Show Logger" button have text, they appear as two blank buttons so small that it is almost impossible to know which one you hit on a small smartphone screen.
• IceCatMobile 38.8.0 and uBO 1.8.4 on Android 4.4.2: The buttons appear in normal size but without text.

Similar issue with ABP: https://issues.adblockplus.org/ticket/4867. This suggests the issue lies with Firefox Mobile (Aurora).

Since Firefox for Android 51 (and above, include Fennec F-droid, Nightly 54+, unsure for Beta), I cannot see more settings in any extensions at about:addons, but if disabled and re-enable extension again, an extension settings will be return.
But only last for that attempt, if you go back to all extension list and return again, it will gone...

Probably related bugzilla entries:

There ARE other extensions which have no problems at all showing their options:

• Decentraleyes
• Tap Translate

Maybe the coders can exchange their knowledge, or is this already out / uncool nowadays?

Problem is in Firefox, fixed in 53, see bugzilla entries above.

I got Firefox 55.0.2 for Android and I don't see any settings for any add-on at all : (

@BloodyRain2k - FF55 + uBo WE issue is different to OP - try gorhill's suggestion: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/2958#issuecomment-326797798 . The problem will fix itself when 56 lands on your smart phone
