Enigmail 2.1.4 is incompatible with UBlock Origin. 2.1.3 works perfect.
If I install Enigmail 2.1.4 UBlock can´t save his settings anymore if I deinstal and it or reinstall 2.1.3 UBlock warks perfect again.

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't see what Enigmail has to do with UBlock, or why the small changes in Enigmail could disturb UBlock.

Did you restart Thunderbird after installing Enigmail?

I searched for UBlock on Thunderbird, but I can't find it. From where did you install it?

Yes, I restarted The Computer and thunderbird.
And as I write after uninstalling Enigmail 2.1.4 UBlock works flawlessly again.
And with 2.1.3 It works perfect too.

And I need it because of my big amount of RSS-Feeds.

OK, I tried it. From what I can tell, with Enigmail 2.1.4 installed, UBlock seems to have a problem with displaying the stored settings. I.e. the settings are correctly saved, but with Enigmail installed, when opening the settings page, the values are not restored. After disabling the settings, the values are stored correctly.

The behavior on my machine is the same with Enigmail 2.1.3 and with 2.1.4, i.e. the bug also existed on 2.1.3 (I have an idea why it doesn't occur for you with 2.1.3, but the problem is definitely not new with 2.1.4).

With Enigmail it disable all Setting at start too, I know that because if I change Settings and restart Thunderbird I can open UBlock and see them enabled but in the next Second the get disabled. As I stated with 2.1.3 everything works completely normal.

For me it is a Blocker for 2.1.4 because UBlock is more important for me then Enigmail.

I hafe filed a Bug Report for that to UBlock too.

Hope it wil functioning together again in the Future, because they boath are important.

Thanks

  Can you give us a link to the bug at ublock? This allows us to cooperate with the ublock developers.

I implemented a workaround that should work for most cases. The case not working is if the UBlock tab is open at shutdown time of TB (i.e. such that it will be automatically displayed upon startup).

A beta version with this fix is available from:
