You could use this extension to "block" within Firefox and only for Firefox.

The HOSTS file will affect all browsers in that PC equally.

Close All Web Browsers -> Open My Computer -> go to Windows Drive (C:\) -> Windows -> System32 -> drivers -> etc -> open "hosts" file in Notepad -> at the end of the file write

127.0.0.1 www.xyz.com

xyz = the website you want to block

Save the file and exit. Now restart your web browser. Check and tell if its working.
