Looking for help here. I created a new Firefox profile and wanted to load the Bypass Paywalls Clean Add-on/Extension from the XPI file. So I did what I've always done and got the message displayed above.

Then I went into about:config and changed both xpinstall.whitelist.required and xpinstall.signatures.required to false. Fully exited and restarted the browser but still, no dice.

Anyone know how to fix this?

SOLUTION: go to extensions.blocklist.enabled and turn it to false

As BPC adds new sites to its list, it makes Firefox ask the user to accept access to those which can get annoying. Not to mention the developer keeps getting banned everywhere he puts it and you gotta hunt where the new updated extension is.

So my question is, does the list on uBlockO works as well as the extension?

I would have to do a one-for-one comparison, I haven't checked that.

Yeah, I just asked because I remember with the "I don't care about cookies" that got sold to Avast there was also a uBo list but I remember still seeing cookie banners that would not show with the extention.
