Block Site
A customizable, password-protected website blocker and redirector.
Block Site - Customizable Website Blocker and Redirector Add-on for Firefox
'Block Site' is a Firefox extension providing control over website access. It allows you to block unwanted domains, use wildcard or regex matching, utilize reverse mode to limit access only to selected sites, and redirect blocked hostnames to new destinations. Furthermore, it protects against data leakage by preventing certain hostnames from capturing your network activity. Additional features include timed blocking, custom messages on blocked pages, aut0-closure of blocked tabs, killing pop-ups, and configurable pause and resume options.

used to work some (long) time ago, now it doesn't

Works perfectly, simple and easy to use. The only downside being that when you have for example, 10 tabs with different YouTube URLs and then you want to block YouTube, all the tabs lose their url and become YouTube, which means that after unblocking YouTube, all my saved tabs become the default main page.
