Thanks, but I want to add somthing. If you want to block any website then specify the url with and without http:// and www.

e.g
http://www.facebook.com
http://facebook.com
http://www.facebook.com

Blocksite has a FATAL flaw: you just deactivate this add-on (which takes just a few seconds), restart Firefox, et voilá… Too easy a by-pass to help you not visiting certain websites.
