Nowadays, porn is easily accessible due to the internet. For example, people can easily visit adult websites using web browsers like Firefox, as long as there is a computer or smartphone and internet connection. Exposure to porn harms children and teens. Watching porn can also negatively impact adults. This article shows you how to block porn on Firefox on desktop and mobile with different porn blockers.

If you are a Windows user, you can use Cisdem AppCrypt, the best website blocker and app locker for computer. When working as a porn blocker, AppCrypt can do the following things.
(AppCrypt is also available for Mac. AppCrypt for Mac doesn’t support Firefox.)
Below are the steps.
1. Download and install AppCrypt.
Free Download Windows 11/10/8/7
2. The first time you open it, set a password. It’s recommended to select the Launch at System Startup checkbox.
3. Click the AppCrypt icon in the taskbar. Alternatively, right-click the icon and choose Open Main Window.
4. To access the main window, please enter the password.
5. Click the Web Block tab. Install the extension on your Firefox.
6. In the extension, select the Block Porn checkbox. This will block all porn websites.
In addition, you can add other unwanted websites to the blocklist. In AppCrypt, in the URL field, enter the specific website you want to block. Click Add.
You can add specific websites, pages and keywords to the block list. You can even import your own list of unwanted websites by clicking the Import dropdown menu and then choosing TXT file.
7. Go to Preferences. Select the Lock browser when the extension is disabled or uninstalled checkbox.
Now the websites, pages and keywords on the block list are blocked on Firefox and other supported browsers on your PC. The blocking applies to the normal browsing mode and the private browsing mode. When one tries to visit a blocked porn website, the website won’t open.
There are six ways to temporarily or permanently unblock a website, page or keyword, such as quitting AppCrypt, removing the item from the block list, or disabling or removing the extension. But any of the six ways requires the password. (Once one disables or removes the extension, Firefox will be immediately locked with the password and remain so.)
Therefore, only people who know the password can do the unblocking. If you want to prevent yourself from accessing porn, you can ask someone else, like a family member, to set the password for you.
Tip: If you want to make all porn sites inaccessible, this tip may help. Under Web Block, turn on Block all websites and click Exceptions. Add the approved websites to the Always Allow list. This way, Firefox will only be able to open the sites on the Always Allow list. The Always Block list is also worth mentioning. Items on the Always Block list are always blocked, without being affected by the General Schedule feature.
BlockSite is a porn blocker extension available for Firefox. This extension allows users to block specific inappropriate websites. It also provides a Block Adult Sites option. Turning this option on doesn’t actually block all adult sites but can block most of them.
There is a Password Protection feature, which can only prevent one from changing the extension’s options or disabling the extension. It can’t prevent the extension from being removed. Therefore, this extension is not that effective.
1. Open Firefox. Go to about:addons.
2. In the Search addons.mozilla.org field, enter BlockSite.
3. Click Add to Firefox and then click Add.
4. Click the extension’s icon in the toolbar. Click the Settings button in the top right corner.
5. On the left, turn on Block Adult Sites.
6. This step is optional. If turning on Block Adult Sites doesn’t block the adult website that you need to block, choose Block Sites on the left and then add the website.
7. Go to about:addons. Find BlockSite and click it.
8. On the page that appears, scroll down until you see Run in Private Windows.
9. Select Allow.
Although the Password Protection feature is not effective in preventing the blocking from being bypassed, enabling this feature does add an extra barrier to bad content. To turn on this feature, choose Password Protection on the left and select the option(s) you need from the three options provided. It’s recommended to select all three options.
If you are an Android user, you can use Cisdem AppCrypt. It allows you to add specific porn sites to the block list. It also blocks all URLs containing any user-specified keyword (such as "porn"). In addition, you can use it to block any installed apps that you think contain inappropriate content. In addition to Firefox, the blocking of porn sites applies to other popular browsers such as Chrome, Samsung Internet and Opera.
AppCrypt automatically locks itself with a PIN or pattern. Only people who know the PIN or patter can do the unblocking.
1. Install Cisdem AppCrypt.
2. Set a PIN or pattern when you open it for the first time. (If you want to prevent your own access to porn, you can ask someone else to set it for you.)
3. Tap the Web Block tab.
4. In the Enter URL or keyword field, type the porn site you want to block. Tap Add. Repeat this step to add porn sites and porn-related keywords to the block list.
There are 2 easy ways to limit adult websites on Firefox on iPhone.
Using this tool, you can block access to adult websites on your iPhone with just a single tap.
1. Downlaod and install this tool on your iPhone.
2. Open it. Go to the Preferences tab.
3. Turn on Adult Blocking.
Now all popular porn sites are blocked in Firefox on your iPhone. The blocking also works in other browsers.

Thanks to Screen Time, a set of settings included in iOS 12 or later, iPhone users can easily implement restrictions on web content. Screen Time has an adult content blocker, which is strict enough to block most inappropriate content. But sometimes it can be so strict that it also blocks certain appropriate websites and pages.
Screen Time on iPhone supports Safari and some non-Safari browsers like Firefox, whereas Screen Time on Mac only supports Safari. Screen Time is included in macOS Catalina or later.
1. On your iPhone, go to Settings.
2. Tap Screen Time.
3. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions. Turn it on.
4. Tap Content Restrictions. Go to the Web Content section.
5. Tap Web Content.
6. In the screen that appears, tap Limit Adult Websites.
7. This step is optional. In the Never Allow section, tap Add Website. Enter the porn site you want to block. Tap done. Add other porn sites if needed.
8. Go to the Screen Time main screen and tap Use Screen Time Passcode. Set a passcode.
Tip: If Screen Time is too strict and blocks certain pages on the appropriate websites that you often use, you may find this tip helpful. In step 7, go to the Always Allow section and add these websites. For example, you may want to add wikipedia.org to the allow list.
If you are a parent, you can block inappropriate web content to prevent your children from being intentionally or accidentally exposed to such content. If you are an adult who watches too much porn or wants to help a family member quit porn addiction, you can restrict access to such sites. This article talks about how to block porn content on Firefox browser. I hope it’s helpful. In addition to Firefox, the four methods support some other browsers.
