Blocklisting extension on Firefox no longer works, what do I do?

I noticed that the extension blocklisting no longer works on Firefox. I checked the extension.blocklist options in topic: config and all of them are set to default values. My other laptop has still the extension blocklist working, but the one that I use does not work. Anyone know what files are associated with the extension blocklisting? Because I want to be sure that the blocking of the extension doesn't work, just in case I have download a malicious add-on or extension. I have already two Add-ons that are on the red list, but Firefox is not blocking them, which are: MetaStream 3 Plugin 3.2.2.26 and McAfee SiteAdvisor 3.4.1.123

Nevermind, I fixed the problem. There were some defective files in AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\nuutfn45.default\

The following files were defective:

Name: blocklist.xml
Question: He had less blocklisted than other plugins, MetaStream 3 Plugin 3.2.2.26 did not appear in the blocklist.xml and it did not display the warning "MetaStream 3 Plugin has been disabled due to problems of stability or security." Blocklist.XML also highlights the entries in pluginreg.dat tell Firefox what Add-ons to remove the toggle button, which is normal. But if the add-on is not listed, then the entry in pluginreg.dat display toggle button.

Name: pluginreg.dat
Question: This plugin didn't remove the button toggle a blocklisted plugin as it should normally, if I could activate the MetaStream 3 Plugin whenever I wanted to.

Name: pluginreg.dat.bak
Question: This file is a backup of the file pluginreg.dat defective

So if anyone has a problem with blocklisting not activated as it should, then delete the files that I listed above.
