Please note that I am still working on several improvements, all I need is some spare time to finish my work.

The following changes makes this work:

-if (permission == UNLISTED_PERMISSION_ENTRY && patterns[contentType] != null) {
+if (permission == UNLISTED_PERMISSION_ENTRY && patterns[contentType].length > 1) {

-else if (behavior & BEHAVIOR_BLOCK)
+else 

note: we need this for BEHAVIOR_BLOCK and BEHAVIOR_ASK_ME

-this.updatePermissions(aURI, usersResponse, contentType);
+this.updatePermissions(aURI, usersResponse, contentId);

Content blocking should be straightforward, at least when everything works like I have in mind. Also, I am really sorry, but I won't have time for this in the next coming months. I have deadlines to catch you know. I am still hoping to get some help from you guys.

I also changed that confirmation dialog. I replaced the Ok and Cancel button labels with Allow and Block. I also changed some other text. Everything will be part of our next update (hopefully as early as this weekend).
