As per https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/i4oopi/how_to_whitelist_remote_sites_on_blocking_large/g0p83sw/:

  • Launch Firefox (issue does not occur in Chromium)
  • Check "Block media elements larger than [50] KB" option in uBO's dashboard
  • Open uBO's logger
  • Open a new tab and navigate to http://www.capstone.cse.msu.edu/2019-08/projects/mozilla/project-video.mp4

Result:

The logger shows a never ending amount of requests being made to above URL, which requests are blocked at onHeadersReceived() time because of the no-large-element switch.

uBO 1.28.4
Firefox 79.0
