Using Firefox 55.0.2 for Android on my Galaxy S5 with Marshmallow, I have Ghostery 7.3.3.7 or uBlock Origin 1.14.8 installed. When I tap either add-on's entry in the Settings pull down, it only closes the pull-down, instead of opening the add-on's settings window. Also, there is no access to the respective settings windows via Tools>Add-ons>Ghostery/uBlock entries (just Disable and Uninstall). Any suggestions for how to access the settings of these add-ons?

It has been several days now since this problem appeared and yet no solution has been given from Mozilla, do we go ahead and use a different browser and forget about Firefox the way you all have forgotten about your user base? Unacceptable. Want proof? Here ya go, add-on is installed and no menu entry is accessible!

I have discovered a work around for anyone still interested in the topic. At least it's working for me as it relates to ublock origin, in not sure if this will work with ghostery as I do not use it and have not bothered to test. It's true what some have already said about installing a previous version of ublock origin, but the problem with that is, the moment you restart Firefox the add-on will update to the latest version and you're back to the same missing menu problem. Trick is to disable your addons from updating in about:config and then install a previous version of ublock origin.
