Hi,
I'm looking for a good free ware website blocker for a friend of mine and have not found a good one that works for firefox. Would anyone be able to direct me in finding a good one that they might use that is free? Thank you

In the firefox extentions, I would download adblocker and no script.

adblock plus - http://adblockplus.mozdev.org/installation.html - not only a website block but can block images and even divs. Best way to deal with spam, ads and even block sites that you don't want.

his little bro is playing on newgrounds too much and he wants to make it so he casnt get to the website (little bro has a temper and looses a lot) I think i found my solution modifying the HOSTS file. This is the link that i found if anyone ever has this problem.

HOSTS file is for Windows, if you have a router you can also do it from there.
