- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13430622, 7 years agoThe New update has being annoying me. I think I may have found the solution. I copied the URL. I use Firefox. I clicked on open menu and then add-ons. I opened block site and pasted the url into it. Since I done this the new tab does not appear.

Blocksite Support - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13430456, 7 years agoI made an account on mozilla specifically to put down this review...
I loved the extension till the latest update, but now everytime I open firefox this extra tab opens up saying THANKS for installing this shit!!!
I thought If I clicked that shit button to see how its working (as if I already don't know from the last 3 years of use) that it would go away! but no!! keeps coming back...
I mean i know i installed your fucking extension but you do not have to fucking keep reminding me of that every fucking time i fucking open fucking firefox. Now do you? Cunt!Developer response

Blocksite Support - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13430257, 7 years agoThe app appears to work perfectly. To date, I have no complaints. I don't understand why some users whine about reminders. I've had this installed for awhile and it is doing what it claimed. No redirects, no annoying spam, and not holding sites I visited, only those blocked, which I have the option to delete. Perhaps some users don't know how to set the On/Off switches, or maybe I have not learned everything about it yet..

- Rated 1 out of 5by Jamikz, 7 years agoPlease don't redirect to that "This page was blocked by BlockSite extension".
Use that little window on the lower right side of the screen when site is blocked.
I don't want you redirecting me to that blocksite page when i use blocksite to prevent me from being redirected to any page in the first place.Developer response

Blocksite Support - Rated 2 out of 5by Paul Dodd, 7 years agoI'd forgotten I'd installed this, which is exactly how I expect this kind of add-on to work. You certainly can't forget about it now so I'm going to remove it instead.

- Rated 3 out of 5by elctro, 7 years agothanks for the awesome add-on
please make it like the old version when just show notification that the page is blocked then it vanished & not opening a page saying it's block! it's annoying
the other thing is it doesn't add URL like this one (http://appiness.online) it says incorrect URL! it should add any kind of URLs even the an expected one
& last please make the block list sync with browser account - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13429427, 7 years agoHi Blocking Site team!
Latest build 3.1.14 doesn't work at all on my Firefox 56.0.2.
I've installed previous version 1.1.9.0 and it works again! :)
I'm aware that it's not compatible with Firefox 57...
I understand that you needed to upgrade your add-on according to Firefox update but deploying a buggy version doesnt sound good in my opinion! :)
Anyway, thanks for this great addon in 1.1.9.0 with Firefox 56... :)
Regards
François - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13429263, 7 years agoBefore the update I was satisfield with that extension.
After the update, it shows up the "thank you" page every start and I cannot turn it off.
The interface was also changed and it seems, you have to use a different syntax to successfully add pages to be blocked by BlockSite.
I will search for a different tool, if it continues to open the extra page every start of Firefox.
Edit: To successfully add a site to block, you have to use 'www.pagename.ending'. just 'pagename.ending' will not work.Developer response

Blocksite Support - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13428418, 7 years agoBefore this update everything was perfect, now it doesn't seem to block any requests sent to the blocked site but only blocks direct browsing to the supposedly "blocked" websites.
Guess I'll have to find another blocker.Developer response

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13417811, 7 years agoIt simply does not work. The previous version worked exceptionally well and was easy to use. This "updated" version is terrible. The interface is much more difficult to use and is obviously not written by the same people that designed and wrote the original version. I don't believe that the addon itself is not malware. I am getting rid of it and looking for something else.
