That's always going to be problematic. Firefox does not know that you have

send a SYN and wait for the response.
So you'll need to tell Firefox that that IP is banned, in which case you don't
need iptables, you need a Firefox plug-in. Go to mozilla's site and find
something appropriate. I'll bet there's one already and it's probably called
SiteBlock
Ok, I suspected as much. Yep, there's a extension called Siteblock. Just
downloaded it and will try it. Thanks to all who replied!
