Critical Known Issue 2016/03/17
This addon has critical known issue about "Manage unwanted result sites" due to updated data grid module "jqgird". The issue is lost your 16+ sitelist when save(press OK button) on "Manage unwanted result sites".
I would like to fix this issue. But Mozilla is changing a lot of add-on development, especially add-on build environment. So it is difficult to update this addon soon.
Meanwhile, USE Export/Edit manually/Import instead "Manage unwanted result sites".
