Is there a Firefox application that disallows one to gain access to the internet...

For a certain amount of time? I know there's a program called "Freedom" but that's not free of charge...

If you go through a router, you can set limits and times on internet activity.

 

For most routers, it's http://www.routerlogin.net/

 

login: admin

password: password

Thats a pretty handy url!

 

Saves going into the command prompt for me

Also, in before "YEAH IT'S CALLED SELF CONTROL HURDUR".

 

Also, in before some hipster ironically says "YEAH IT'S CALLED SELF CONTROL HURDUR".

Others in my household would not take to kindly to such a decision.

This may be a stupid response and I don't want to sound condesending, but if you don't need the network at all, why not just pull out the network cable/turn off wireless?

then turn off the internet on your own computer.
you mock the "self-control" thing, but really, it is
not that hard, dude. just commit

Yeah, I guess this thread is enough actually... Time to start reading something my books other than StumbleUpon'd stuff.

So....it appears putting time blocks on the router or modem isn't going to work?

 

You didn't really respond to that suggestion and there may be other ways to do what you'd like that don't involve special software.

 

Is it a single computer you need it disabled on? What about just disconnecting it from the network and not having the password saved? They couldn't reconnect without the password?

 

I didn't see any add-ons to FF that would do something like this either.

[theboywho]

On some routers you can set certain I.Ps to only work at times, you could do that.

You'd be surprised by what you can find by looking at the stickers on your hardware.

[Terminus]

Isn't there some form of time lock in the parental control paned? or is that just in IE?

Thanks IamBurnout, though that seems like it would disable the entire connection, no? Yes, it's a single computer. It'd be such a useful app. Go Firefox, do it.

[melx]

an app for an internet browser that stops you connecting to the internet huh? I don't really see why Firefox would be interested in that.
