Try using a host file, this will block sites globally across all browsers. Bit more info on host files here

The only time a host file will not work is if you are running through a proxy server, if you are not, then check how you place the entry into the host file, how did you put the entry in to block in your hostfile, was it using a hostfile manager, what IP did you re-direct the site to?
