Mate Translate disabled

For some reason, after years of using it, Mate Translate for Firefox has been disabled. This has been a most useful add-on. Is there any way of re-enabling it, even if it is not "signed" to current Firefox specifications?

Is it this one? https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/instant-translate/

It should be signed if it's available for download from the Mozilla Add-ons site. What is the error message you see in Firefox on the Add-ons page?

Very strange. This morning Firefox advised me that the Mate Translate add-on had been disabled. Now it's re-enabled without me having done anything. Annoying... But I'm thankful that it's back up and running!
