I want to ban certain sites on my PC in Firefox. Anyone know if it's possible and if so, how.

I don't know about Firefox but if you use a router some have the facility to ban ip/URL addresses?

Never had to do this myself as installed Spybot Search n Destroy and had it protect my HOSTS file it added a load of sites to it which redirect to 127.0.0.1 i.e local loop back

if you look at your HOSTS. file

it's just a case of putting a line like

www.dodgydomain.com 127.0.0.1

or you can try a content blocking addon such as adblock plus which will block anything you tell it to can block whole sites i think http://*.google.*/ would pretty much block google totally..

I have the predecessor to this adblock and it works for me but it's no longer updated where as adblock plus is..

Tools > addons and select "extensions" and click the get extensions link on the bottom right.

Thanks Gopher. Someone else suggested something similar too, so I'll give it a try.

I'm surprised Firefox doesn't have something built in. IE does.

I don't think my router has such a facility.

Which one do you use?
