Amazon Instant Video + AdGuard = Broken

[Boo Berry]

I've got a Amazon Prime account (with Amazon Instant Video) and when I try to watch any movie or TV show when Adguard is enabled, it causes Amazon to show service errors when attempting playback. When I disable Adguard I can play videos correctly.

Looks like Adguard's bug. It does not work even I disable all filters.

Yes, you're right in that it doesn't work even with all filters disabled.

Might of found another Adguard bug; I can't update the YouTube Center Developer Version XPI extension for Firefox when there's new versions available while Adguard's filtering is enabled. YouTubeCenter.xpi can be downloaded here. Disabling all filters doesn't make any difference. The Chrome version of the extension on the other hand updates fine.

Here's an easy way to reproduce it...

1. Download this version of the extension somewhere you can find it (right click on it, Save Link As...).

2. Drag and drop the extension into Firefox's addons screen.

3. Restart Firefox to install the extension.

4. Try updating addons (via gear icon > Check for Updates) while Adguard's filtering is enabled, it'll say no updates found.

5. Now try updating again (via gear icon > Check for Updates) with Adguard's filtering completely disabled - the extension should update fine then.
