Default Can Firefox block a site?


Somehow, fastclick has managed to open tabs even through adblock. Is there
a way to tell Firefox not to open any websites from a particular domain?

Not in the version I have.

Probably the easiest thing to do is just to put the domain in your hosts
file. That will block the entire domain, and you won't have to download
any extra S/W to do it.

Try this.
Open Firefox >Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies, tick > for the
originating web site only.

Click on > Exceptions, make sure fastclick.com is blocked, if not, add
to > Address of web site: & click > Block.

Click on > View Cookies, tick > Don't allow
sites that etc, any entries for fastclick, click > Remove Cookie.

When done, keep clicking OK until Options is closed.

Well i could be wrong, but you have adblock. So you can go to adblock
options and turn on siteblocking/whitelisting, but i guess that would block
a lot of other sites too.

I didn't know I could edit adblock that way. Now that I've looked, I see
just how to do it. Thanks!
