Stupid question about firefox. . .

[Chreman]

Is there anyway to block a particular website? I've been searching but can't find how to pull it off

[Shuemue]

You want to block a whole website entirely, or just the images?

[Killgannon]

easy enough... you can block a whole website and not even have to use firefox

use notepad to open c:\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

add

127.0.0.1<tab>website.dom

and there you go blocked foreva

2 Options:

1) Edit hosts file -> C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc -> Open in notepad, type "127.0.0.1 www.yourwebsitehere.com" save, reboot PC.

2) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3145

Yeah, the hosts file is the best method to block a whole site, but unlike KG I didn't want to wade in without being sure that's what was wanted.

[Killgannon]

he asked to block a website>.> so thats what i gave him<.<

[Shuemue]

Yeah but;

A) He may have meant either just block it in Firefox and allow other applications to access it, or just block images.

B) I'm first a troll and second a helpful guy, therefore I was unable to resist a cheap shot
