Does anyone knows how to block specific websites in Firefox without having to download any 3rd party blocking softwares?

This one will block all the sites either IE or sa fOx

Open a DOS command window, type:

notepad C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Put the following line in hosts:
127.0.0.1 www.pinoyhosting.info

File > Save.


Where : www.pinoyhosting.info is the site you want to block.

Ayaw e-block ang istorya.net ha!

" How can I block a web site from being viewed?"
Question:

I have been having a lot of problems with my computer due to my teenagers accessing web sites that they should not be accessing. Despite my efforts of educating them on the viral consequences, they continue to follow their peers to these scumware infested sites. Is there a way to stop Internet Explorer from accessing certain sites?

Answer:

Yes, if you know which ones they are accessing, it is a pretty simple task. You can use the Windows 'Hosts' file to accomplish this, here's how:

In Windows XP, the hosts file is found here:

C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts

Once you have found the hosts file, right click it and select Properties. Uncheck the "Read-Only" attribute (if checked). Click OK.

Double click the 'Hosts' file and select "Notepad" from the list of programs to open it with.

Once you have the hosts file open in Notepad, you will see an entry such as:

127.0.0.1 localhost

To block a certain web page from loading, add the following:

127.0.0.1 www.webpage.com

Your Hosts file will now look like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 www.webpage.com

Add as many web addresses as you like in the same fashion.

Once you are finished, go up to 'File' and click 'Save'.

The web pages listed in your 'Hosts' file should be blocked from access. It may be necessary for you to reboot your computer for these changes to take effect.

>>> oh ok... im kinda looking into something more specific for firefox... ive read online for firefox they usually mentioned about 3rd party software to download...

optional lang ang 3rd party software for blocking a website... Did you try to encode the host file? Ako naka sulay ko na.. pwede ra.. no need 3rd party software.

If dili mo satisfy.. you can used the 3rd party application.
