Unchanged since last update to firefox, I can still access blocked sites, I still can get redirected to blocked sites by scripts.


Before the changes to firefox, this app was literally the best option for blocking "redirect" urls. (FireInk.com, pipsol.*, etc). However now it won't block the sites like before. It no longer prevents the page from loading. (No more pop up about how the site contains parts on the black list). On a redirect url, it will still load and then redirect to obnoxious (or pornographic) advertisements. Before by preventing the loading of the blacklisted url, the redirect would fail and the desired link would load like it should!

Example: I tested this with google.com. It would load the website for an instant before replacing it with the message that the site is blocked by BlockSite. An instant is too long, the redirect urls would have chained multiple pop ups with annoying fullscreen effects, and "error" messages that require being clicked on.


It is impossible to enter the url "Example.*/*" anymore, as the wildcard is an invalid url (it can't replace .com, org, xm, ag, tg, to, biz, gov, etc...) This makes it harder to block websites with multiple endings. For example if I wanted to block google, I would have to literally go and block every single country extension instead of just putting "www.google.*" Please change this back, it is very useful.

Why remove functionality? I can no longer edit the list once it is made, only delete entries. I can no longer make a note of why I blocked a website. I often did this for scam "Dating" popup ads, or pornographic content since the url would be a garbled string of random characters which was impossible to identify in an hour.

The addon, no longer performs as advertised. I'm currently looking for an alternative, or a way to install the old version. I would use an older version of firefox if required. Screw speed, I just wanna surf the net safely. :(
