I downloaded the installer for uBlock via SeaMonkey and then installed
it in Firefox via "Install Add-on From File".

Afterwards, I downloaded Firefox 115.22 ESR, again via SeaMonkey and
installed it over 115.13 ESR.  uBlock remained installed and enabled.

Obviously, I prefer SeaMonkey over Firefox for many reasons.  I use
Firefox only for those Web sites that deviate so much from the W3C
specifications for HTML and CSS that SeaMonkey cannot render them.
