I have the same issue.

I'm using Arch Linux, thus the version of icecat from AUR [1], which is 
the current (31.8.0-1) one, but compiled with a patch which fixes some 
nulltpr errors of gcc5.1 and later.
I confirmed that the prebuilt version from your website works fine, so 
this is most probably the reason.
According to the packager [2], this patch is probably also the reason 
for the red loading wheel being static.

So since this is obviously related to the patch respectively the newer 
version of gcc, I don't expect this to be fixed before you use gcc5.1+ 
on your own, but maybe this can be some kind of warning - so you know 
what might fail respectively be an issue.


Some additional info:

The addon seems to not work completely.
I can get to its general Preferences (about:addons), but clicking on 
filter preferences triggers nothing.
Furthermore the icon does not show up, neither in the statusbar nor in 
the toolbar, regardless the relevant options being checked.
I have run the prebuild version to check for filters:
 - "Block all well known privacy trackers"
 - "Block all third party recources when in private browsing"

Additionally I see several ampersands (&) in the preferences, e.g. 
'&Filter preferences'.
