回答1:

you can have a look at the source of those addons

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/blocksite/?src=search https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/url-n-extension-blockune-bl/?src=search

or use service observer with nsIHTTPChannel for fast handling

const { Ci, Cu, Cc, Cr } = require('chrome'); //const {interfaces: Ci, utils: Cu, classes: Cc, results: Cr } = Components;
Cu.import('resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm');
Cu.import('resource://gre/modules/devtools/Console.jsm');

var observers = {
    'http-on-modify-request': {
        observe: function (aSubject, aTopic, aData) {
            console.info('http-on-modify-request: aSubject = ' + aSubject + ' | aTopic = ' + aTopic + ' | aData = ' + aData);
            var httpChannel = aSubject.QueryInterface(Ci.nsIHttpChannel);
            var requestUrl = httpChannel.URI.spec
            if (requestUrl.indexOf('google.com') > -1) {
               //httpChannel.cancel(Cr.NS_BINDING_ABORTED); //this aborts the load
               httpChannel.redirectTo(Services.io.newURI('data:text,url_blocked', null, null)); //can redirect with this line, if dont want to redirect and just block, then uncomment this line and comment out line above (line 17)
            }
        },
        reg: function () {
            Services.obs.addObserver(observers['http-on-modify-request'], 'http-on-modify-request', false);
        },
        unreg: function () {
            Services.obs.removeObserver(observers['http-on-modify-request'], 'http-on-modify-request');
        }
    }
};

To start observing

To start start obseving all requests do this (for example on startup of your addon)

for (var o in observers) {
    observers[o].reg();
}

To stop observing

Its important to stop observring (make sure to run this at least on shutdown of addon, you dont want to leave the observer registered for memory reasons)

for (var o in observers) {
    observers[o].unreg();
}

An other possible solution :

Here is an other implementation as modules example from HTTPS-Everywhere

Init function :

  init: function() {
    // start observing all http requests
    Services.obs.addObserver(httpNowhere, "http-on-modify-request", false);
  },

Observer function :

observe: function(subject, topic, data) {
var request = subject.QueryInterface(Ci.nsIHttpChannel);
  if (topic == "http-on-modify-request") {
    if (request.URI.spec == "xxx.example.com") {
      request.redirectTo("yyy.example.com");
    }
    else {
      request.cancel(Components.results.NS_ERROR_ABORT);
    }
  }
},

Migrating your extension to chrome :
