Firefox doesn't have an intrinsic 'blocking' of certain sites

However you can use certain extensions...according to me the 'blocksite' or 'procon' extension comes close to what you are asking about.Go for blocksite.

Click Tools-> Add ons -> make sure you're in the extension tab -> click get extensions at the bottom. In the page which opens up, type in blocksite in the search field.Click on its link when the page opens up.Finally click Install now to install that extension.

Alternatively, you can edit the hosts file. The hosts file will be located in C:\ windows\ system32\ drivers\ etc (provided your windows is installed in c:\windows)

Open the hosts file with notepad or any text editor of your choice.
At the bottom in a separate line in the file enter:

127.0.0.1 www.google.com

The example line above blocks access to google.com. if a particular site doesn't get blocked, then also enter the site without www and check.For example:

127.0.0.1 google.com
127.0.0.1 www.google.com

for each site which you want to block do this, that is place an entry on a separate line like i showed you.

However, this won't block access to all the URLs..some nasty ones will slip through...so you'll have to see which ones get blocked..

Anyway, once you alter the hosts file, save it, and restart firefox..and you'll see that the entries which you placed in the hosts file, those sites would not open ...but they would also not open in any other browser which you have, not only in firefox.

Yet another way is by using third party tools for 'parental control'

That's it!


Add it to your Windows HOSTS file but instead of directing it to the real IP address, direct to 127.0.0.1 which is your own computers localhost.

Voila! Site is blocked.

Hi Sujeet,

Use a firefox extension called LeechBlock.

LeechBlock is a simple productivity tool designed to block those time-wasting sites that can suck the life out of your working day. All you need to do is specify which sites to block and when to block them.

You can download it from here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fi refox/addon/4476

Cheers!
