I downloaded Blocksite Plus 1.1 When I hit "options" to try and list websites I want to block the "enter password" window comes up. I enter my FF master password and get "access denied." I enter my FF sign in password and get "access denied." What am I doing wrong?

Sounds that you hit a password protection feature that the extension incorporates do prevent others from changing settings.

From https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/blocksite/

Password protection
If you lost your password: go to about:config (type about:config in the location bar and press enter) and reset the BlockSite.authenticate entry or clear the BlockSite.password entry.
