Script Summary: Blocks irrelevant and spam domains.
Update
Fixed the script, I haven't had a lot of time lately to mess with it until today, sorry everyone.
Added Import/Export buttons, you can now dump your list to a JSON string and import it into another instance of Firefox, there is currently no way to automate this. I don't have time right now to setup a server.
Accidentally fixed FF3, I will try to keep it up-to-date, doubt I'll ever fix FF4, as the browser had way too many issues.
Google has implemented a domain blocking method, unfortunately it seems to only allow you to block certain domains. If you want to block amazon.com or anything popular you're out of luck. I always block sites like amazon.com and ebay.com, because the information I'm looking for rarely has anything to do with what they are selling. If Google implements a true blocking ability, this userscript will be discontinued, until then, I'll try to keep making updates.
Bug Reports and Feature Requests
Please post bug reports in the discussions section, I will not be checking the Issues and Reviews sections any more. It is too convoluted to go all over the place to get these.
Remember, I'm just one guy working on this project. I do try to answer all discussions and I have released many bug fixes, updates, and user requests. If you leave a clear message describing a problem or feature you'd like to see, I'll do my best to make an update for you. I test in Firefox on OSX/WinXP/Ubuntu I probably do not have the same configuration as each individual, please let me know what other add-ons and userscrips you're using, so I can try to match what you're seeing. If I can't duplicate the issue, I can't fix it.
About this Project
How many times do you search Google and find crappy results from search engine spam sites? Then you find them again and again. Well I got pretty sick of it, so I created this userscript.
Features
Blacklist Domain
After searching for something, a new link is added to the Cached - Similar pages - Note this list, called Blacklist Domain. Clicking this will ask you to confirm blacklisting of that domain name.
Show/Hide Blacklist
Look in the upper right hand corner, there is a new link called Show Blacklist, clicking this will show all of the domains you have blacklisted. If you click the red marker to the left of a particular domain, it will be removed from the list. You can also add in domains here, by typing them into the input and clicking the + button. If you remove an entry, you must refresh the page to see the updated search results.
Regular Expressions / Wildcards
I've had several requests for wildcard matching, due to spam domains using multiple subdomains. I implemented this using regular expressions, then remembered that regular expressions for the average user is kind of a pain. In the preferences section, you can enable RegEx Blocker, this will block a full domain and all subdomains.
Preferences
Allows you to enable and disable features in the userscript.
Import/Export Blacklist
This is now implemented, you can select to import or export your blacklist. The data is output as a JSON string, just click export, copy the string and import it into another instance of Firefox.
I'm planning on adding some kind of server-side component to this in the future, I just don't have time right now.

Known Issues
Chrome
There is currently no support for the Chrome browser, as it does not support basic greasemonkey functions. Chromium does not support @require, @resource, unsafeWindow, GM_registerMenuCommand, GM_setValue, or GM_getValue. If they decide to implement full support at some point, this script may start working.
No Blacklist Displaying
There is some kind of compatibility issue between this userscript and one or more Add-Ons, I'm trying to narrow down the issue.
