Is there any way to blockthe infernal word lists from search engine results?
If I'm searching for something, many results are often word lists, e.g. from scrabble resources or computer science departments. Is there any way to block these word lists?

Is the list in Firefox Search bar, Address Bar where are the lists please ?
In search engine results.
For example, I'm photosensitive, I get strobed, if I search Google for photosensitivity accessibility safety ableism the results include word lists like:
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jlawler/speculum
http://www.lawndalecity.org/ASSETS/twl2016.txt
If I use phrases, that can cut out some of the word lists, but can cut out some useful results too.

Hi, no not that I know of unless use google search shortcuts like -list https://www.lifewire.com/advanced-google-search-3482174
https://www.accessfirefox.org/ https://www.accessfirefox.org/Firefox_Addons_Options.php Also userChrome
and can turn off things in Firefox like : Transparent turn off highlight of Address Bar
/* Transparent toolbar backgrounds */
- nav-bar, #PersonalToolbar {
background-color: transparent !important; background-image: none !important;
} /* Remove top line on nav bar */
- nav-bar {
box-shadow: none !important;
}
As well can do this : To turn off Firefox built-in animations:
Type about:config in the Firefox address bar and hit the Enter-key afterwards. Confirm that you will be careful if the warning intermediary page is displayed. Use the search across whole top of window to find and Copy/Paste toolkit.cosmeticAnimations.enabled. Double-click on the preference name to toggle its state.
Also set the rest of these to false in the same way:
browser.tabs.animate browser.fullscreen.animate browser.download.animateNotifications alerts.disableSlidingEffect
That seems a little random. If it was a spammy website that you never wanted to see results from, I would suggest a site hider add-on, but you may not want to hide everything from the University of Michigan...
