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
- 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.
- There are many utilities that block and filter websites. If you are not satisfied with BlockSite, try searching “site block” and “parental contrp” to find another extension.
- 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
- 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.
- You should also block the mobile version of that site. For example, if you block Facebook, block m.facebook.com as well.
- Windows – Press Ctrl + S or choose “Save” in the File menu.
- macOS – press Ctrl + X and select “Yes” when asked to save the file. Use the old name to overwrite the original file.
Using OpenDNS
- Go to opendns.com in your browser.
- Normally, you enter the router’s IP address into a web browser, log in with the username and password to access the configuration page.
