About this Add-on
General usageYou can add and/or remove websites, you don't want to visit ever again, via the BlockSite Preferences. You can open this window by clicking on the options button of BlockSite in Tools > Add-ons menu, or by clicking on the Preferences item in the context menu of the extension in the Extension Manager.
Wildcards
You can block whole ranges of websites by using the wildcard symbol (*):
If you want to block, for example, a lot of Microsoft websites, you can use the following line: "http://*.microsoft.*" and "http://microsoft.*" The * symbol indicates that there may be zero or more random characters at that place.
Import/Export
You can import and export lists of locations via the 'Import' and 'Export' buttons in the 'BlockSite Preferences' window. The first line in the file you want to import has to be the '[BlockSite]' in order to be read succesfully. So your file may look like:
[BlockSite]
http://*.domain.*
http://test.com*
...
If you still use Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.*, you can use older versions of this extension.
Password protection
If you lost your password: go to about:config (type about:config in the location bar and press enter) and reset the BlockSite.authenticate entry or clear the BlockSite.password entry.
Problems
Some problems were reported about the loading latency whenever a very long list of blocked urls has to be checked. Every web site often makes more than ten HTTP calls and on every call, the long list of urls is checked. It's quite obvious and I probably won't change it.
