Firefox - How to block a specific site?

[Sherin George]

Hello Andy,

I think you can use a firefox extension like "ad block plus" to block
websites.

If you want to use /etc/hosts, you may add following.

==========
127.0.0.1 foxnews.com
127.0.0.1 www.foxnews.com
=========

This may block foxnews.com from loading.
