How to Block Websites on Firefox
Mozilla Firefox, which the Mozilla Foundation runs and Netscape owns, is a web browser that allows users to browse the web, check email, and take advantage of thousands of individual add-ons and plug-ins.

How to Block Websites in Firefox
Although Mozilla Firefox does not directly allow users to block websites, it does reference the same Restricted Sites list in the Windows Control Panel. In order to add new websites to this list:
1) Click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel, open Internet Options, and select the Security tab.
2) From here, double click the Restricted Sites list, which is represented by a red circle with a line through it.
3) Select the “Sites” button, enter a website’s URL, click Apply, and click OK.
Mozilla Firefox will now block the website.
