Although Firefox does not have a website blocking function, you can install an extension to detect and block websites with adult and restricted content. If you need a more comprehensive method, you can edit the hosts file to block the site on multiple browsers. If you need to block on multiple devices on the network, using a service like OpenDNS is the most effective way.
Steps
Using BlockSite

Start Firefox on the computer. You can install many extensions on Firefox to block websites. These utilities are only supported on the desktop version. This method will focus on the popular utility BlockSite, which allows you to block specified websites.
- Firefox extensions can be bypassed quite simply and only take effect on Firefox. If you want to block all access to that website on all browsers in use, you should refer to another method in this article.

Choose between “Blacklist” and “Whitelist” . When using blacklist, any added websites are blocked. When using whitelist, on the contrary, the entire website is blocked except for the added website. Whitelisting is more effective when you want to restrict your children to only view certain safe websites.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e2/Block-Websites-on-Firefox-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Block-Websites- on-Firefox-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e2/Block-Websites-on-Firefox-Step-12- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Block-Websites-on-Firefox-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Add the site to the list. Click the “Add” button and type or paste the website address into the corresponding field. This is to add the website to the blacklist or whitelist, depending on your settings.
- You can use wildcard to block multiple websites respectively. For example, to block any pages with the word “drugs” in the address, you would type *drugs* .
Edit the hosts file
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/40/Block-Websites-on-Firefox-Step-13-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Block-Websites- on-Firefox-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/40/Block-Websites-on-Firefox-Step-13- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Block-Websites-on-Firefox-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Open the hosts file. The file allows you to redirect the route from a specific website to an internal address, and effectively block the web. This method affects all computer users. Editing the hosts file is only really effective when you need to block a few pages.
- Windows – Navigate to C:WindowsSystem32driversetc and double click on the hosts file. If asked to choose a program to open the file, select “Notepad.”
- macOS – Open Terminal in the Utilities folder. Type sudo nano /etc/hosts and enter the password when prompted. This is to open the file in the editor.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/93/Block-Websites-on-Firefox-Step-15-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Block-Websites- on-Firefox-Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/93/Block-Websites-on-Firefox-Step-15- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Block-Websites-on-Firefox-Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Type 127.0.0.1 <site> . For example, to block Facebook, you type 127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com .
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/de/Block-Websites-on-Firefox-Step-16-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Block-Websites- on-Firefox-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/de/Block-Websites-on-Firefox-Step-16- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Block-Websites-on-Firefox-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Add more pages to the new line. You can continue to add new lines to the file, one page per line. Don’t forget to add 127.0.0.1 to each line.
- You should also block the mobile version of that site. For example, if you block Facebook, block m.facebook.com as well.
