According their wiki, they appear to only want to use the block list in extreme cases but if a person did want to override the block list, it seems that 'extensions.blocklist.detailsURL', 'extensions.blocklist.itemURL' and 'extensions.blocklist.url' define the addresses that Firefox uses to look for the blocklist. extensions.blocklist.detailsURL appears to be the URL used to explain why some plugins get blocked [1] extensions.blocklist.url is the URL used to retrieve the blocklist [2] extensions.blocklist.itemURL appears to be a Firefox 7 replacement for the detailsURL [3]
