Blocksite extension does not work

Post by Looboo »

I recently added "blocksite" to the browser. When I add sites to block, the extension does not seem to work. The sites can still be accessed. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Have you closed n reopened Firefox to complete the extensions installation?

Yes, several times. It also shows on "about:config" as being installed and enabled.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Mine has wandered off and I'm out looking for it.

Thanks, that first link helped, but how would I ever know to write the site this way "http://*.microsoft.*" ???
I could not find instructions about that. When I formatted the site with the "*", it worked.
