Website blocking Extension for FF 1.5?

It is coming up to final exam time, and there are a few sites which a friend of mine goes to constantly and wants to block them so he can concentrate on studying, but he doesn't want to install specialty XXX blocking software or anything which eats up system resources. Are there any extension for FF 1.5 which allow this. I told him he can do it in IE, but I don't know of any off the top of my head which block sites, and I googled it with no avail. Any assistance would be great

I'm not sure.

Of course, If i tried to set up filters like this, i would know the way around them and probably use that to avoid studying anyway.

True, but not only do I think I could also benefit from blocking a few sites I go to WAY to often, I now am also on a hunt (great even more time on the internet instead of studying) looking for an extension, I mean there HAS to be one.

You could add an entry in your hosts file if you wanted similar to one used to block ads.
