Thank you for this. There are definitely some problems with extensions in the unofficial IceCat preview. I've also noticed behavior that's consistent with what you've described above, and not only with HTTPS Everywhere. At one point I noticed that although I had LibreJS installed and enabled, its icon was no longer visible in the navigation bar, and nonfree JavaScript was being run. Obviously these are very severe problems, and I will look into them as soon as I can. Unfortunately, due to other urgent matters occupying my attention, it will be at least a week, and possibly two, before I can investigate. If anyone is able to investigate these issues in the meantime, I would be grateful. Proposed fixes would of course be ideal, but sharing any observations or proposals that might move the process along would be most welcome. Thanks, Mark
