uBlock Origin/uMatrix Filters not Updating--FF


Knightmare

Recommended Posts

I was playing around with some settings in uBO and I noticed that my filters stayed at the same number for quite some time. When I clicked on the Easylist filter to view the full list of blocked elements, the top of the page has the last update as June 2018. When I go to the official website, it shows that the last update was today. I started wondering about the other filters and realized that they also displayed the last update as a few months ago; upon visiting their official site, they show the latest update as a few days ago. I went over to uMatrix and it showed the same results. Is this a bug with the two programs or did I do something on my end to make this happen?

Check that "Auto-update filters lists" is checked.😀

It is checked. I should mention that I ran an update manually, and it still shows the list from June 2018.

The only other things I can suggest are:- 1) In "Settings" try clicking the "Reset to default settings...."

                                                                 2) If that doesn't let your filters update I would uninstall uBlock Origin and re-install. Hope you have some luck with this.😀

I only use uBlock because uMatrix is really for advanced users (they warn!!)...so reading that and knowing my limitations I avoided the temptation to install it. I think uMatrix must be blocking your uBlock filter update, so I would suggest disable or uninstall uMatrix and see if uBlock updates....then decide if it's worth having both. Good luck.😀

It's probably the Dylithium Crystals or the Gangle Sprocket that are burned out!!!😀😀😀

Open the page about:config and check these settings :

pref("dom.indexedDB.enabled",false);
pref("dom.storage.enabled",false);

It could another one ? Yes because I don't know which one cause this trouble... But once you had rectify them (true to enable), it should vanish.

 

PS :

  • Don't forget to restart the browser
  • At the worst, (first of all) save your data and delete the profile.
  • Otherwise if you are feeling lucky, my advice will be to open an issue there. For once the author might provide a real help. From my point of view, the support is just bad...

uBlock, uMatrix and your firewall . . . . . all have the capability to block updates to ones add-ons.

 

You might want to disable all the above 3 temporarily, just to find-out if it's true in your case — then, enable the same one-by-one until you identify the culprit/s.

 

Finally, you'll have to go through all your rules to locate the problematic one/s — suspect it might be your custom rule/s (at either one or more — at the above 3 programs.)

be sure to have this entry in the whitelist [...]

Right now, I had check the rules and it's should be already the case. That's why @flitox I believe it doesn't cause this trouble.

 

By the way, it's just bad (or even a bad practice) because @Knightmare the fact is : no you didn't mention the version (about each addons neither the browser itself). And no it doesn't help (us) ! Sometimes yes it's very important because it could help a lot to identify the origin of this kind of trouble.

 

PS : From my point of view, it's better and rather to provide clear information (such as the code itself) :

matrix-off: moz-extension-scheme true
## At the top of rules (inside the uMatrix dashboard)

No @dcs18 it can't be the firewall (that's just my opinion). Otherwise the browser will be totally block (no internet).

It's not necessary that the browser will be totally blocked — I've got a rule blocking just the add-on updates.

Now I understand @dcs18 because it wasn't aware. I haven't create the rule because WFC has never show any notification about the addons.

Because I didn't forgot the notification about (the file called) pingsender.exe and I confirm it was the only one (which was block a long time ago).

 

Which firewall do you use @Knightmare ?Just in case because I assume it might help (even a little to determine the cause).

I created a new profile and reinstalled my addons. Seems to have worked, but I won't know until the lists update.
