not working and mobileaddons site has been blocked please resolve it i was just searching the other extension and it is showing me like blocked

Exactly what I needed- One-click, no menus. My second screen is rotated 90* so webpages always have to be scrolled horizontally. By switching the site to its mobile view, the screen now acts like a large tablet. The only thing I would add so far, is an option to change the 'ON' color.
