[QUOTE="sumone, post: 1483289, member: 551481"] You're funny.... I don't think there's a way, but if you can't find a firefox solution, a system-wide solution could be just to edit your hosts file to point to something non-existent. Add an entry saying: [CODE] 127.0.0.1 caraudio.com 127.0.0.1 www.caraudio.com 127.0.0.1 forums.caraudio.com [/CODE] Hopefully you don't run IIS or a web server, or you could just use 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1 All this is doing is when the browser needs to find the IP address of the server, instead of looking it up on the internet, it's gonna see, "I already know what it is...it's 127.0.0.1" in that hosts file & use that instead. Some people use it for common typos of web servers...like if you typed whitehouse.com but really mean whitehouse.gov...you'd add an entry with whitehouse.gov's ip address but with the hostname of whitehouse.com. Hosts file is @ c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc in XP [/QUOTE]
