Works for me with
2013-10-29-03-02-01-mozilla-central-firefox-28.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64
firefox-24.0.en-US.linux64

Does it work with a new profile?  If not, what other add-ons do you have installed?

The extension has a "Block Site" feature, available when you check a box on the List pane.

Yes it does work on a new fresh profile. (Firefox is then in english by default)

> other add-ons installed are :
- Addblock Edge 2.0.7
- Better privacy 1.68
- Complete Youtube Saver 4.4.4
- Element Hiding helper for Adblock Plus 1.2.3
- Firebug 1.12.4
- Firefox OS Simulator 4
- FireFTP 2.0.16
- HTTPS-Everywhere 3.4.2
- RequestPolicy 1.0.0b3
- TrackerFox 0.14.2 (Not compatible with FF24 and automatically deactivated, cannot remove it apparently)

I have try to deactivate all add-ons appart from LightBeam and the problem is still the same.

Plugin list is:
- NPAP Plugin Wraper 1.4.4
- PackageKit (22/02/13)
- Shockwave Flash 11,2,202,310
- IcedTea-Web Plugin 1.4.1 (deactivated)
 
Only the French language pack is active.

The problem still occur if i reset Lightbeam data (witch remove block site preferences to). Wikipedia.org was not in the list.

1) I have completely removed the following add-ons with no change :
- Better privacy
- Complete Youtube Saver
- Element Hiding helper for Adblock Plus
- Firebug

2) I was wrong above when i was stating above than i have cleared the block list. Even after a LightBeam data reset,
there is this message in the console if i start Firefox from there :
> error: lightbeam: log blocking 30 sites

I will try to find a way to clear it, to be sure than it's not related.

3) I think it's not related to this bug but just in case, there is this error messages in the console when i display LightBeam in Firefox:
> error: lightbeam: hasPrivateWindow: %s windows to test 1
> error: lightbeam: handlePrivateWindow: %o [object ChromeWindow]
> error: lightbeam: An exception occurred.

A comment closing the other Lightbeam bug here says Lightbeam bugs should be reported at https://github.com/mozilla/lightbeam/issues.

My bad, after re-checking again the list, wikipedia.org was indeed blocked. It was probably a mistake i have made.

So it's not a working bug, but it may be useful for the stupid users like myself, in a future version, to display an alert message like "This site is blocked in your Lightbeam list" when a user try to access a blocked site.
