Why legacy in g5.1 ? Install the current release from:

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.45.3b1

I use it as a backup if some feature (not filter) doesn't work properly in uBo WebExt

Can't exactly expect a legacy add-on to be compatible with modern versions of Firefox.

As far as I'm aware of, Waterfox current does support some legacy extensions. This isn't much of a problem for me and can be considered pointless and redundant

Possible use these:

As long as you know what needs to be fixed in the uBo 1.16.x code. By default, it doesn't go to open the dashboard and maybe pop-up from under the icon.
