To block a sender after the Block List filter has been established, it says to click on the plus button. Is this button on the key pad or the email. When I hit the plus button on the key pad nothing happens. Also how do you change the font for emails? Please advise. Thanks!

For the 'plus button' look at the bottom screenshot.

I have set up the Block List filter. How do I add additional addresses to the filter? I assume I pick the email and then what do I do. Do I right click on the address of the sender? Where do I locate the + button? Is it on the key pad or the email? Please advise. Many thanks!

The plus button is clearly displayed in the screen shot above. It is a button on the filter dialog box.

Still confused! I click on unwanted email. Then rt. click on its address and then on Create Filter from.... and the address shows in the 3rd box. I type Block List in Filter Name and click on+ button next to address. Only thing that happens is a line of more boxes appear: From, Is, Address + -. What am I doing wrong? I get a lot of scam each day that I would love to block. If you like, please call me at 252 945-0312 and walk me through it. Many thanks!!!

You started this thread with 'blocking a sender'. Now you're talking about 'scam'.

There is a fundamental difference in blocking messages from a specific sender or just blocking spam messages.

So what do you really want? Please be specific.

I want to block messages from specific senders which would include unsolicited and undesired emails.

Good.

I have set up the Block List filter.

Can you post a screenshot of what you've set-up already, similar to the bottom screenshot in the article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/blocking-sender ?

I have set up Block List but don't know how to open it. What am I doing wrong? When I get an unwanted or unsolicited email I want to stop future emails from them. Upon receipt I click on address and click on Creat Filter from.... and the address shows in the 3rd box. I type in Block List in Filter Name and click on + button next to address. More blocks appear:From, is, address, +, and -. What am I doing wrong. Please walk me through the proper procedure. Thanks!!!
