Just got it yesterday, was working well then suddenly stopped working with out warning.

The missed cards feature isn't working. I have tried everything; I reinstalled both, this extension and the ankiconnect add-on (didn't work). I made sure to follow the instructions and configured the ankiconnect info to that provided in the extension instructions (didn't work). I do not have an ad-blocked. The red/yellow/green boxes still show up when I open the uworld questions, its only the 'missed uworld question' feature that is missing (which I found the most useful). Please let me know a fix for this. Otherwise this is a 10/10 app.
