I need to block a website from being accessed through firefox. I cant find an option and googling has not been helpful (1st time for everything). Any tricks you might know?

I tried adding it to the hosts file and it did not seem to take effect. Does it require a restart or something?

Hosts file is definately the best way, you're obviously just not doing it correctly. Edit the HOSTS file, in windows\system32\drivers\etc and add the lines:
127.0.0.1 www.xxx.com
127.0.0.1 xxx.com
I believe you have to get each variant of the url, xxx.com will not cover www.xxx.com.
