uBlock Origin Uninstalling

[KingThunder]

I've experienced the bug that the uBlock Origin uninstall by itself in Firefox, but it's not every time that it happens, it happened twice. Today, i was checking my quarantine, and for my surprise the uBlock Origin .xpi was there, two of them. I can remember that some users are having the same problem. So it can be antivirus related. And it was not flagged as a malware in Avira, it was saying that it's a "Suspect file".

Sorry for my bad english.

It's a known issue. Most likely caused by uBlock Origin including links of known malware sites as part of the bundled filter lists.

Best solution: Don't use 'antivirus' snake oil..
