web-api-manager Breaks YouTube?

Good day.

Cannot find a way to get YouTube to work; as soon as I block ONE API, it does not matter which one, YouTube breaks. Guess the "Permitting Rules" are not totally useless after all. I'm using FF52ESR.

Yeah, I did forget to mention I use Firefox 52 ESR. As for which I block, as I stated, it does not matter; as soon as I block /something/ then the site breaks.

Here's an example: I clear all settings in WebAPI Manager and open the YouTube homepage; everything's fine. Then I open the WebAPI Manager settings and block Light-Sensor. Switch tabs and reload YouTube and it's mostly blank - I have the search bar at the top, but nothing else. To be absolutely certain it's not some kind of interaction between other addOns and WebAPI Manager, I would have to load a fresh profile with only WebAPI Manager installed. I used to have such a profile but I deleted it about 2 weeks ago. I used it to test the saving of my settings in WebAPI Manager, and sure enough, WebAPI Manager forgot all its settings each time I restarted the browser (this is probably an issue with old FF52 and it's early support of WebExtensions (i.e. it probably does save settings correctly in newer versions of Firefox.)) So at least in FF52 and with a few more addOns active, YouTube breaks as soon as WebAPI Manager is active.

Hi. Well, the author marked WebAPI Manager as compatible with FF52, so I am hoping he wants it to be so, and can tweak around FF52 WebExtention bugs. The problem with newer FF's is they dropped support for XUL, and finding a replacement for my 65 active XUL addOns is going to take so much time, I am not going to do it anytime soon. But thanks for confirming it is a FF52 issue. Regards,
