why /etc/hosts don't effect to my firefox on Ubuntu 10.04?
I tried to block some hosts to load from them ads and scripts.
for example in /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 web-visor.com
0.0.0.0 c1.web-visor.com
Why after editing and saving the file, firefox (after restart) still load this sites (not from cache of course)?
My /etc/host.conf seems to search previously in hosts file
order hosts,bind
multi on
What's wrong?
host.conf is obsolete, look in nsswitch.conf .
Does your Firefox use proxy? /etc/hosts SHOULD effect your Firefox (I tested it). What is the result of pinging those addresses?
