I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to blacklist/whitelist pages in Firefox. I'm also wondering how to block pages with a plugin, I wouldn't mind writing a plugin that could read in content headers and HTML meta-data before displaying a page, then based on the user's preferences, display it, redirect it, or just display an error.
i was sure there was... but i can't find it... There was a block sites option... I may just have been dreaming. Although i remember blocking ebay from my little brother... failing that, most firewalls have a site blocking option
If you want a quick dirty way to block sites, add them to the hosts file c:\windows(or winnt)\system32\drivers\etc and then add website.com then a false IP like 10.10.10.10 this should stop it resolving.
Yeah, but the goal is a firefox extension that will block it on the browser... I'm doing this for some computers that have nothing but firefox and open office running on linux.
You could just edit the userContent.css file and add for any domain you need... Code: body { display: none; }
http://www.lifehacker.com/software/greasemonkey/invisibility-cloak-update-149252.php Never used it, but the "Greasemonkey script which blanks out time-wasting web sites till after a certain time of the day" looks like it could fit the bill. Note it's apparently easy to get round.
