by Firefox user 13420543, 7 years agoI've been dreading 57 since there was no replacement for YesScript...Now there is. Would be perfect if there was a screen that could view (or edit) a list of blacklisted sites. Hopefully in a newer version.

Couldn't figure out how to reply to your reply..so....
"..then you can easily do that by using Firefox's Sync feature. You just sign in and all of your bookmarks, settings and extension storage will be copied over to your other devices at once. It is convenient."
For some reason, this didn't work. The sync copied WebScrpt 2 extension, but my sites were not copied over.
-----------------ll want to view and edit the blacklist, you do that now as well by editing the following file with the editor of your choice:
[Your Mozilla folder] / firefox / * / browser-extension-data / yesscript2* / storage.js"
The file format that I use for the blacklist looks like this, so you can easily edit it however you like it:
{"urls":["domain1.com","domain2.com","somethingelse.com"]} "
Thanks, I figured that out by "exploring". What would be nice is button in YesScript which would open this up (perhaps in Notepad) Maybe add the above line as a read-only help line. Again, thanks for the extension.

Developer response
posted 7 years agoHappy to hear you've found the replacement. Actually I believe you don't need an option to view and edit the list of the blacklisted sites because if your intention is to export it from one account and import it into another, then you can easily do that by using Firefox's Sync feature. You simply sign in and all of your bookmarks, settings and extension storage will be copied over to your other device at once. It is convenient.
However if you still want to view the blacklist, you can do that now as well by opening the following file in a text editor (editing this file has no effect though):
[Your Mozilla folder] / firefox / * / browser-extension-data / yesscript2* / storage.js
Your Mozilla folder can typically be found on a Windows system in C:\ users \ yourname \ AppData \ Roaming \ Mozilla. On Linux systems you can find it in / home / yourname / .mozilla. For further information on this, see more here:

{"urls": ["domain1.com", "domain2.com", "somethingelse.com"]}

Reply #2 : May I ask why you want to edit the blacklist? I could add an option but it would increase the code base that I wouldn't want if avoidable. More lines of code is harder to be maintained and more work to be inspected for future changes. Write me to my email if you need more help and clarification: mail@log69.com
And Sync should really work. Are you using the latest stable version of FF?
Edit: with version 4.0 I'v made several fixes and improvements to the Sync feature, so now it would work properly.
