uBO/webext works best with Firefox 57 and above, and with multi-process enabled.
There are many [reports](http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=14764474#p14764474) of people experiencing issues with some web sites, or images not loading, etc. Turns out many of these are a result of using some legacy extensions along uBO/webext. For instance, Reek's AAK in [GreaseMonkey](https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/6xl3em/image_links_suddenly_blocked_by_ublock_origin/) has been [causing](https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/6x8hbe/ublock_origin_is_a_webextension_in_amo_stable/dmf6j5k/) issues with images not loading.

If you experience such issue, you will have to disable all your legacy extensions and see if this fixes your issue. If so, then you will have to re-enable your legacy extensions one by one to find the one(s) causing the problem.

Everything is moving to WebExtensions, so it might be just a good time to start giving up on legacy extensions, they are not going to be supported at all in a couple of weeks when Firefox 57 is released. See if there is a beta webext version of any of your legacy extensions. For example, there is [beta webext version of Greasemonkey on AMO](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/beta).

**Update (2018-06-30)**: if you still have problems with filter list being out of date on every restart check this [Mozilla bug 944918 - indexedDB broken - UnknownError - Error opening Database](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=944918) In overall your IndexedDB database may be corrupted ([in various ways](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=944918#c30)) and only way to fix this is to find database folder and remove it. One special case of "corruption" may appear when you browse database folders and you file explorer drops hidden files in database directory (for example `.directory` dropped by [Dolphin in KDE](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=944918#c32)) - deleting these unwanted files will fix the problem.

**Firefox for Android 56:** you can access the popup panel using the "uBlock Origin" menu entry. However, the dashboard can't be accessed through `about:addons`. This is fixed in Firefox for Android 57. The workaround is to open uBO's dashboard through uBO's popup panel. Once you access the dashboard, you could create a bookmark out of it to allow direct access in the future.
**Firefox for Android 55:** As per [documentation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Differences_between_desktop_and_Android), only with Firefox Mobile 55 (beta) you can access uBO's popup panel.

### Future of uBO/legacy
For all those Firefox and Firefox-based browsers based on Firefox v52 and less, uBO from <https://addons.mozilla.org/> will cease to work, and they will have to [install manually the `xpi` version](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/tree/master/dist#firefox-legacy) from the repo here if you want to keep using the dev version of uBO.

Be sure to create backups of your uBO settings, if the transition from uBO/legacy to uBO/webext fails, you can always just restore all your settings from the backup file (see [_Settings_ pane in the dashboard for the backup/restore features](./Dashboard:-Settings#backuprestore-section)).
