Are Firefox add-ons (uBlock etc.) ignoring proxy whitelisting when they automaticaly updates filter rules? Observed behavior (example) - using proxy in Firefox with whitelisted easylist.to (network.proxy.no_proxies_on), proxy control panel still shows comunication to easylist.to. Is this somehow on me, or is it a bug?

Addon issue are to contact their Addon Developer about problems relating to how their Addon works.

asked first, got following answer: "uBO just makes a network request to easylist.to, how it's routed beyond making the network request is beyond the control of uBO."

Blocker itselfs afaik works well, i don´t know if its something they do wrong or if Firefox is to blame (or me ofc) - same behavior observed at publicsuffix.org (which is updated directly by browser? - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61745387/how-does-chrome-or-any-other-browser-use-public-suffix-list ) (proxy whitelist is in following format: .mozilla.net,.mozilla.org,.mozilla.com,.easylist.to,.publicsuffix.org)
