Blocking Pages With Firefox

Can you block pages with Firefox?

I can't find an option where I can either *block this page from being viewed* or where you type in the address of the site and add it to a list.

You're funny....

I don't think there's a way, but if you can't find a firefox solution, a system-wide solution could be just to edit your hosts file to point to something non-existent. Add an entry saying:

127.0.0.1             caraudio.com
127.0.0.1             www.caraudio.com
127.0.0.1             forums.caraudio.com

Hopefully you don't run IIS or a web server, or you could just use 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1

All this is doing is when the browser needs to find the IP address of the server, instead of looking it up on the internet, it's gonna see, "I already know what it is...it's 127.0.0.1" in that hosts file & use that instead. Some people use it for common typos of web servers...like if you typed whitehouse.com but really mean whitehouse.gov...you'd add an entry with whitehouse.gov's ip address but with the hostname of whitehouse.com.

Hosts file is @ c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc in XP

Thanks for the info!

Seems a little too complicated for me though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Come on man...all you would have to do is this:

1. copy & paste this stuff into notepad:

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.0.1       caraudio.com
127.0.0.1       forums.caraudio.com
127.0.0.1       www.caraudio.com

Save As...

And copy & paste this in:

%systemdrive%/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts

If you f*ck up or want to enable access, just delete the last 3 lines.
