Blocklisting is the ability to disable errant add-ons and plugins for all Firefox users. The current list of blocklisted items is published to mozilla.com
Blocklisting Policy
- Block add-ons & plugins:
- with versions with known vulnerabilities or major user-facing issues
- with version ranges with known vulnerabilities
- with fatal bugs (client crashes on startup or something causing an endless loop of unusability)
- Don't block:
- before we work with author/vendor to send out an update, so don't block the most recent version of a major addon/plugin
- for minor bugs for non-popular addons/plugins (crashes on event calls, messed up UI, etc.)
How to Blocklist an Add-on
- file a Blocklisting bug
- include extension guid, extension versions to be blocklisted and all affected appliction guids and version ranges
- submit the bug and make sure to reference any related bugs
