 I use the uBlock extension on TB to filter ads. It stopped working in TB >
 7.0.11.

 The problem seems to be that it cannot update any filter lists anymore
 (infinite spinner if you click on update). All of the lists are blank,
 which means there are no rules to filter ads, so the extension becomes
 pointless.

 Things I already did:
 * stepped back up to 10 old versions of uBlock, none solved the issue
 * installed firefox ESR to see if this is an issue with ESR and uBlock,
 but it works fine (also together with NoScript and HTTPSE)

 So I think this is a TB issue, the update might have broken something in
 the extension API?

 System:
 Arch Linux x64
 TB v7.0.11
 uBlock Origin v1.14.22
