Steps to reproduce:
Open Orion and browse, leave it open for days, quit and relaunch.

Expected behavior:
uBlock Origin should autoupdate to the latest version but does not (both from Firefox and Chrome store). I have to uninstall and then reinstall it. It's my only extension which the developer updates frequently, so I can't tell if other extensions are affected (Simple Translate, e.g.)

Orion and macOS:
Orion 0.99.108.1-beta (Webkit 613.1.10)
Mojave 10.14.6 (18G9323)

    les No extensions auto update, we do not have support for it yet.

        Sorry, I had better made more thorough search. Thank you.

          Ah I didn't know about this.
          That's really annoying as it means we have to keep backing up the settings and then restoring. Some extensions like Dark Reader don't even support settings export and import 🙁

            catch-22 Well that is not how we intend this to be handled, just the feature needs to be built. Which will happen proportionally fast to the number of upvotes this issue has 🙂

              I just installed Orion and I got last version 1.39.2 😄

                Cricri You always get the latest version when you install an extension. Problem is that you're stuck with that version unless you reinstall it every time an update comes out

                  To watch when a new version will be updated

                      The workaround for this is to remove and re-install extensions, but having the ability to auto update them would be awesome.

                        Seconded. Compatibility with existing extensions is the feature that sets Orion apart from Safari for me. I hope this will be implemented reasonably soon.

                          To whom it may concern,

                          I see no option to update the installed extensions in the Orion browser. I might have missed something but so far I failed to find a way. The only way is to re-download them. Please let me know if I'm missing something. It was the same way on the previous version too.
