No affordance to enable dat:// protocol after installing in FFx Nightly

After building the extension, making the changes to sandbox, and installing it, I see these options:

FFx 76 Nightly on Ubuntu 19.10 (wayland)

But I don't see an option to enable the dat:// protocol.

Is this related to the issues on Mac and Linux mentioned in the blog post?

The enable checkbox in Cliqz just does an extension enable/disable. If you are running in Firefox then the protocol should work once you load the extension. You may be missing the extensions.experiments.enabled pref, which needs to be set to true to enable the libdweb apis. This was added to Firefox a couple of versions ago, so the current readme is out-of-date.

Excellent. I enabled that preference and now I'm able to use dat://.

I'll submit a PR for the README.
