don’t know what iso is?

It's just for isolating site data, if you don't know it you probably don't have it activated (must be activated in about:config via privacy.firstparty.isolate, but it breaks a lot of sites).

Hm, can you please open the options page, press F12, navigate to the console and show me if there are any warnings or errors?

Everything is blank: no errors, warnings, messages, etc

I honestly don't know why it doesn't work for yoiu, I sadly can't reproduce this. Have you tried removing the addon, restarting Firefox and reinstalling it?

I was able to recreate this error.

Steps:

Open options in a private (incognito) window

If you check the console for the options page, you get

Uncaught TypeError: backgroundPage is null
