Vimium-FF – Some buttons in options screen do not work

[JulianDeal]

When I use vimium-FF on Firefox (78.0.2), in the options screen I can't click on the delete button (x) in the "Excluded URLs
and keys" section and I can't click on the "Browse..."-button in the "Backup and Restore"-section. So I'm not able to import any settings. Chrome is working totally fine.

fixed by #3624, which is waiting for merging.

Before that fix is deployed, there seems to be a workaround for the delete button: remove the URL field, making it an invalid entry, and click “save”. This seems to remove that rule.

A workaround, that should address the issue regardless of the element type, is to manually change the CSS of the affected element, for example the Browse button to import the setting:

1. Right click on the Browse button
2. Inspect element
3. Select the input html element (if it's not already selected)
4. On the element CSS insert a new property pointer-event: all

Button should be clickable. Of course, as soon as you refresh the page, the change will be lost and the button will be unclickable. But at least you can import your settings

1. Right click on the `Browse` button

2. Inspect element

3. Select the `input` html element (if it's not already selected)

4. On the `element` CSS insert a new property `pointer-event: all`

Coming from Fedora 33 with Firefox 86 (latest distro release), I'm unable to click on "Browse" to restore my configuration.

The work around worked with a minor issue.

pointer-event: all doesn't work

pointer-events: all works
