How do I block a website from my computer?

I want to block a porn website from showing up as an option when I press the letter "p" in the address bar. How can I block that specific site from showing up?

Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:
#click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
#highlight an entry in the drop-down list with the mouse or cursor Down key<br>do not click the mouse or press the Enter key
#press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to delete the highlighted entry
You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

  • How do I block certain websites from my computer? on all users profiles,

    i want to block miro, limewire, etc from all users on my computer? my computer only tells me how to block it on internet explorer, not firefox. any help??

    Hello Laura.
    Are you talking about blocking access to the sites? If that's the cause, you can do it by using an extension that blocks unwanted sites ([https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3145/ BlockSite] for example) at your choice, or you can do it using third party software (like a Firewall, for example). There is both free and paid software of that kind. But Firefox doesn't include that feature by default, you'll need an extension for that.

  • How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I have already? Can anyone help, please?

    Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
    The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it.  Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
    Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site.  If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side.

  • Is there a way to block certain websites from my computer?

    A website keeps saying "This website is a threat to your computer" or something like that when I go to certain websites. I scanned my computer with McAfee and it said that the website posting that was a hazard to my computer. I can't find any antivirus software (for free) to download to my computer that works (my computer says there's an error when downloading) and when I looked at the page again it had something that said "..I.. " in it and the I was lowercase so i figured that an official page would at least have all that kind of stuff capitalized.
    I just want to know how to block this website (or get a link to an antivirus download, for free, that actually works).
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I went to get on a website

    Really no need to install anything to block websites, you can use the HOSTS file that is in every Operating System.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOSTS
    Just a matter of locating the HOSTS file and learning a little bit about how to add a domain or IP address you want to block to that file.

  • How do I remove a website from my computer?

    There are a few websites my kids have accessed that I want to remove from my computer. How do I do that?

    This ll clear the history, visited links, cookies from Firefox
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

  • How do I block a website from being loaded automatically from another website?

    I want to be able to instruct Firefox to block certain web pages/sites from loading. (The particular problem is certain sites which I DO want to view automatically opening other web pages/sites in new Firefox windows.) There ought surely to be a facility in the Options menu or elsewhere to specify particular sites to be blocked from loading, but I can't find one. I'm sure the hated Internet Explorer had such a facility. Where is it in Firefox?

    You can try Adblock Plus:
    * Adblock Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1865
    You need to subscribe to a Filter list (e.g. the EasyList).

  • How do you block specific Websites

    In Tiger Server, how would I block a website from the server end. This way my users cannot access that particular site.

    Are you talking about sites you run, or are you running as a proxy that you want all users to run through so that you can control them?
    The answers are radically different depending on the answer to that question.

  • I need to block three websites from being accessed through firefox

    i already did this, how do i block specific websites from being accessed

    I think you misunderstood the "Ask a Question" as it is for posting a new thread on this Firefox support forum, not for some form of instant chat. Gave you links to such at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/842208

  • How do I prevent a website from opening another window

    A couple of websites I occasionally visit open up a second window to a spam website. I have put an entry in my Hosts file to prevent Firefox from connecting to the spam websites, so the second window is empty. However, it's still a little annoying.
    I have pop-up blocking turned on. Is there anyway to completely block the opening of the second window?
    If not, why not?

    Thank you for taking the time to reply. I really do appreciate it.
    Unfortunately, the link you posted tells me exactly nothing. My question is "How do I prevent a website from opening unwanted windows". These are full Firefox windows, just like you would get if you right clicked on a link and selected "open in a new window".
    There are only two possible answers:
    (A) To block unwanted windows, do this ________ (insert answer)
    or
    (B) It's not possible.
    If the answer is (B) then the follow-up question is -- Why Not?

    How do I block this msg from always popping up "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes.

    As Ocean20 said, there is no official function that does this built in. What you could do however is to find an app that mute calls that come from "blocked" numbers.
