BlockSite

BlockSite is an extension, which automagically blocks websites of your choice. Additionally, this extension will disable all hyperlinks to these websites, by just displaying the link text without the clicking functionality. This extension should by no means be used for parental control or access control purposes, just because it isn't secure and can easily be disabled or even removed. This extension adds the site blocking functionality that was removed from Adblock Plus.

Cool we have been using the firefox for a few years now, Hubby uses the thunderbird as his email client, I personally like the good ole Outlook express, started on that one, familiar with it, and just basically like it, now one thing I like about the fire fox is you can have multiple tabs open at once..lol..
