| 382247 | 2005-08-19 12:58:00 | Howdy, I need to block a certain web site in Firefox (Windows, running XP) from loading. In IE, I could add the site adress into the Restricted Zone. Trouble is, I can't in Firefox. :help: |

| 382248 | 2005-08-19 14:10:00 | I enter the ones I wanna keep outa Firefox into the same areas . . Internet Options is still Internet Options . I think Internet Options is global in nature, and unless I get told otherwise, it affects any internet connections one might use . I am very sure it works there too . I DO enter the whole url with the http://xxx . com, then I add the . net version for good measure . and then I use the wildcard entry style for them too . . . the one with the . *xxxxxxxx . com etc, so there are two versions of the same url, only one is a complete entry and the other is a shortcut with wildcards allowed . I don't think there can be too many variations on something you want to keep out . |

Are you sure that works, I have never heard of IE security options having any control over Firefox . |

| 382253 | 2005-08-20 08:39:00 | It's a file in one of your system folders that can be editted to include websites that you want to block. That's not its designed purpose, but is very effective. | Greg (193) | ||
