Hello,
I updated Tor and was adding few addons, out of habit I went to
the BetterPrivacy add-on page and got this message
This add-on has been removed by its author
so tried again
We're sorry, but we can't find what you're looking for.
The page or file you requested wasn't found on our site. It's possible that you
clicked a link that's out of date, or typed in the address incorrectly.
So, is this a Tor thing or is Mozilla selectively blocking add-ons by
country of origin? If I don't use Tor this add-on is available.
When you say, "out of habit I went to the BetterPrivacy add-on page...",
did you mean the AMO site, or developer's home page, http://netticat.ath.cx
Well, as I read your post I saw there was an update for BetterPrivacy
avail. Curious, I looked at the AMO site - I didn't get any msg nor
found the Better Privacy addon. So, found these couple of non
definitive blurbs on developer's forum:
For safety and update-reliability it is always recommended to install
any software directly from the developer sites. Especially on AMO this
is no longer granted since the site started to modify the original
add-on compatibility information based on automatic scans - though
they admitted that those scans might be unreliable when it comes to
GUI
<http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/04/19/add-on-compatibility-rapid-releases/>.
Therefore I'm even considering to completely remove my add-ons from
there.
Also, a user posted question like yours on developer's forum today - but
no response yet:

Thank you for BP 1.66, which I downloaded directly from 'your' site,
after experiencing the freezing issues with 1.65. (I also have TACO
installed.)
I am concerned, however, that the Mozilla Add On site has the
following note for this add-on:
"This add-on has been removed by its author."
Should I be uninstalling it?
Please advise.
Thank you.
