you can just grab it from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-content-blocker/ now and not have to do all that stuff as it seems he has uploaded it to the Firefox extension store as of yesterday.

Before switching to the new plugin, export your config and uninstall the old plugin. Then import the config in the new plugin.

They can't be installed at the same time because their files conflict with each other.

[josephcrowell]

Neither of them work at all now and if you had both of them installed, only one of the inject.js scripts loaded for the page.

All of their global variables are the same and overwrite each other.
