Security/Tracking protection: what's the difference between "Upstream source" and "Our List"?

Hi.

I'm with a company (Dynamic Yield) which runs scripts on our customers websites. In Privacy Mode Firefox blocks us, preventing our customers from displaying personalized messages. We contacted disconnect.me and explained why we shouldn't be blocked and they removed us from the "Upstream source" list.

However, we are still blocked in Privacy Mode and we are still present in "Our List". Any idea when "Our List" becomes the "Upstream source"?

Thanks in Advance!

Hi, not really as there are no Mozilla Staff here just Volunteer Support.

People that are running ad blockers and noscript are still running them in Private Mode as you would have to manually turn this off. So those would be running.

Thanks!

Any idea how to get in touch with Mozilla Staff?

There are some Mozilla staff here. I am one. I'll try to pass this to someone who would know, but likely you just have to wait for the list to update, and I don't know what the timeline is for that

I do not believe you will find a sympathetic ear though as the whole idea is to be private and not have things like what you make track people around.

With list updates no timeline possibly by next release Sept.
