blocklist.xml contains a list of extensions that Mozilla considers to be harmful to the user (contains security vulnerabilities, adversely affects browsing experience, etc.) Any installed extension on the block list will be disabled, and any attempt to install an extension on the block list will result in an error. A list of the extensions currently on the block list is available here. As of this writing, there were no extensions on the block list.
blocklist.xml is by default automatically downloaded once a day from Mozilla.com. The update functionality can be disabled by extensions.blocklist.enabled, be modified to point to a different URL by extensions.blocklist.url, and changed in frequency by extensions.blocklist.interval.
Editing
blocklist.xml is by default automatically redownloaded once a day. As such, any changes made will be overwritten. If you wish to edit this file manually, it's recommended you turn off the update functionality.
The syntax of the file is described here.
Moving
This file can be moved to a different profile without any extra effort, but since it's automatically overwritten once a day, there's no point.
Deleting
Deleting blocklist.xml will clear the block list until the file is redownloaded.
