Our codebase has the file named [https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/mozglue/dllservices/WindowsDllBlocklistDefs.in WindowsDllBlocklistDefs.in] from which our build process generates DLL blocklists as C++ header files and compiles them.  To block a new DLL, you create a patch to update WindowsDllBlocklistDefs.in and land it on our codebase, following our standard development process.  Moreover, you need to fill out a form specific to the DLL blockling request so that reviewers can review the impact and risk as well as the patch itself.
