Use Private Browsing mode for visiting such web pages.

Future Firefox versions will support Private Browsing per tab, this is already available as an extension.

The Firefox menu button gets a purple background or you get a purple PB mask on the menu bar or tab bar (Linux) when you are in a PB tab and all Private Browsing mode tabs get a dashed underlining unless you are in permanent PB mode.

Thanks for a reply, but I hope for a filter function, so I can add some websites in just once,and when I surfing internet,it works automatic.

I spend a lot of time on the web and visit a lot of sites. Sometimes I want to go back to a site I visited once before, but I don't remember the name, so I go to my history and it is full of stuff, most of which is useless. Do I really need a history of all the emails I read? No! Do I need a record of all the Google searches I made? No, I do not. It would be nice to have a list of all the Wikipedia pages I visited, especially if the list excluded duplicates. I am sure there are other sites that I don't need to record. And I don't really need to know that I visited the same page 15 times in the last hour. One entry would be enough. I'm going to try HistoryBlock and see how it works.
