I recently tried to use the Intel site to install an add-on to automatically updates my drivers, but once I started trying to download the add-on for Firefox it said that Firefox was blocking it and asked if I wanted to keep blocking it or allow it.

Well on most things "yes" is located on the left, but not in this case, you guys put "keep blocking" as the first answer and while I realize that's a good security thing I accidentally clicked it and now I cannot update my drivers using Firefox, how can I unblock this thing?

Is there a way to modify my blocked list or something?

(Tools) > Options -> Security --> Warn me when websites try to install add-ons = Exceptions

Hi-light that domain and use Remove Site


Then Allow that site when you try to download that add-on again.

You can inspect and manage the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:

  • Click the "Site Identity Button" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
  • Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
  • Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab

You can inspect and manage the permissions for all domains on the about:permissions page.
