I copy and pasted the address's from the address bar so for example i had: http://www.google.co.uk/ This didn't work, however if i put in: http://www.google.co.uk the forward slash which is always added in the address bar stopped it from working.

The addon is way too simple for users to screw up, beginners or power users alike. There may have been an issue with your whitelist setup, and re-reading this may have led you to find out the problem. There could be an addon confliction as well, or the version of the add-on you downloaded does not work with the version of FF you were using. While these last two issues are most likely not the case, be aware of them. @Neil, if you set up the list according to this page you should have not had any issues at all.

It has been difficult finding a quick and easy way to setup basic whitelisting only for public terminals. On many of these it is not worth the time it would take to setup a proxy. This program also gives me a good excuse to push firefox onto these terminals and get rid of IE This add-on is wonderful.

A good idea but alot of initial work. For the slightly more lazy but still wanting some protection you can beat NoScript. NoScript does exactly what you think. Disables all scripting until you specifically allow. -Joe Interesting. A good idea but alot of initial work. For the slightly more lazy but still wanting some protection you can beat NoScript.
