Cannot disable ublock origin in the new android update

In new 2020 update of firefox for android, I use ublock origin as the only addon.

For most websites, it works as intended. For some, it breaks the page. Which is ok, content blockers may corrupt a page. Naturally I disabled the extension for that specific page.

Refreshed, but page still broken. Fine, if I remove the addon completely, maybe then it will work. Refreshed, still broken. Maybe some piece of code from ublock remains in current session. Close firefox from recent apps. Restart, refresh, no success.

Did I find a solution? Yes: clearing all app data for firefox from Application settings.

After this fresh start, the webpage loads as intended. Just out of curiosity, I installed the addon again and guess what :) back to the beginning.

There is one more thing: instead of disabling ublock on that specific page, if I disable javascript on that page using ublock, at least page becomes readable

I used ublock origin in previous version of firefox and never had this issue of "never being able to disable" that is why I think this is a firefox issue, not a ublock issue.

Dear mozilla please fix this, or anyone from the forum please help me figure this out.
