Is there a way to edit the host file so that it will block everything that says Yahoo.com in it? Because I find that putting just 127.0.0.1 yahoo.com won't cut it. So how can you block everything in yahoo.com?

Also I heard that you can also block websites in Firefox. If so, how?

Seems hosts file doesn't support Wildcards. Neutral
Quote:
Make particular note of the so-called “loopback” entry: 127.0.0.1 localhost This entry is a not an actual Internet IP address but defines a local address and can be used to direct the computer to send a packet to itself. This function is used in ad blocking and is discussed below.

No wildcards are allowed and only the main domain name is a valid entry. Directories and files at a site are not supported. Thus “www.microsoft.com” is a valid entry but “www.microsoft.com/windows98/” is not.
