1.	Solve : how to block Facebook on Firefox??
Answer» Hi Team, I'm using Firefox version 3.5.5... I want to block Facebook on my Firefox. How can I do that? Do I need to install add-ons? Can WOT do that? Reason for this is because I created a new user account for my little cousin. I did that for her studies and I want to make SURE that she can't access any social networking sites like Facebook. Please HELP.Change the HOSTS file.Gee that's helpful! To do this, see here: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hostsfaq.htm Otherwise, see here: http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/internet-web/blocking-facebook-firefox-310963.htmlI found K9 Web Protection, a CONTENT filtering solution for home computer. But unfortunately, it blocks Facebook even in my Admin rights.I'm using multiple user accounts in my machine: Admin, Guest 1, and Guest 2... I contacted K9's technical support but they doesn't have a feature to configure multiple user accounts. What applies to one account will apply to all accounts. Can anyone help me? I want to block Facebook on Guest 1 and Guest 2 only, but not in Admin.Is it possible to password protect a website? I mean ... so that computer won't let anyone go to said site without correct password. Like trying to open a password secured ZIP file or something.Maybe change the hosts file to redirect the site to a locally stored html file that prompts you for a password, when the correct one is provided, then redirect to a proxy page for facebook. Also, a good parental controls comes bundled with CA internet security suite, but you can probably get it alone. It supports multiple "users", each with their own DIFFERENT lists of blocked sites and an administrator password to override the block (if you want to let the guest account on once and a while).
