"Request Access" is a Mozilla add-on that allows users to whitelist any desired website for access. This software feature can be quickly and easily integrated into a user's browser for efficient use.
If you've ever received a "Firewall - Access denied for the web site you requested!" message while browsing from a corporate network, you know how frustrating it can be. Sometimes, even good and valid websites get wrongly blacklisted by firewalls. In these instances, we typically have to ask our system administrator to whitelist the site, which can be time-consuming and bothersome.
Luckily, there's an efficient solution to this problem in the form of a handy tool. Simply click on the "Request Access!" option in the Tools menu of Firefox, and you'll be presented with a pre-populated email requesting that your system administrator unblock the site. All you have to do is click "Send", and you're good to go!
If you're wondering whether this tool is customizable, rest assured that it is. You can configure your System Administrator's email-id and your Full name via the Options button in extensions dialog. And, if you're curious about the tool's origins, it's worth noting that it was developed as a first contribution to the open source world and as the creator's first Firefox extension.
Overall, this tiny tool is a must-have for anyone who frequently encounters firewall restrictions when browsing from a corporate network. It's easy to use, customizable, and truly a lifesaver in situations where time is of the essence. If you're considering adding it to your arsenal of productivity tools, I fully recommend it. The only requirement is Firefox version 1.5 or later.
