Just got the new Firefox on my tablet earlier and ublock origin did unfortunately not work well after the update. Ads are no longer removed, but replaced by whitespace with a loading icon in the middle. I'm still considering if I find that more or less annoying than browsing with ads enabled.

This seems to be a filter issue, please submit cases to filter list maintainers.

Note that "Ignore generic cosmetic filters" is checked by default in Firefox for Android, it's something you may want to toggle.[1]

That may be a uBlock issue. On youtube at least, sometimes the ads don't get skipped, but you get a white "video" you can skip instead.
