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 <a href="http://foxnews.com">foxnews.com</a> 127.0.0.1 <a href="http://www.foxnews.com">www.foxnews.com</a> ========= This may block <a href="http://foxnews.com">foxnews.com</a> from loading. -- Regards, Sherin <div class="gmail_quote"> On Sat, Jan 23, 2010 at 10:33 AM, ANDY <<a href="mailto:sirald66@gmail.com">sirald66@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> UBUNTU 9.10 FIREFOX 3.5.7 Using Firefox or /etc/hosts, I want to block/redirect <a href="http://www.FoxNews.com" target="_blank">www.FoxNews.com</a>.
