I believe this is OS independent.

Using "Never remember history" disables all addons. This is a Firefox privacy feature, not a bug in Firefox or cliget.

"Using Never remember history is equivalent to always being in Firefox Private Browsing mode." https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/settings-privacy-browsing-history-do-not-track

I'm sorry, where are you getting the information that "Never remember history disables all add-ons?

When private browsing is enabled all add-ons are working perfectly fine except yours.

You're right. Issue has now been fixed! The problem was that in order for the addon to work in private browsing mode (and when "never remember history" is set), it needs to explicitly opt in. I've added that permissions and it seems good now. Will push an update soon, but it might take a few days for Mozilla to approve the new version.

Thank you.
