How do I restrict sites such as Amazon so that my son cannot make any purchase but still access videos.

I can only put purchase restriction on apps, but once my son accesses Amazon website on the web browser, none of the restrictions apply. He is a 12 y.o. autistic boy and he wants to access videos on his computer. Is there anyway I can prevent purchasing on the browser?

Sorry, there's no feature like that in Firefox, and for that matter in any other web browser that I have seen.

I am curious how he would be able to make a "purchase" without login access for an account at Amazon, without a credit / debit card to use, or without being signed up for an online payment system or service such as PayPal, BitCoin, or other. Purchases can't be completed without payment, so make sure there isn't a "pocketbook" available.

When you are logged into such a site, make sure you log out when you are done. If your son knows your credit card, order a new card. If he knows how to get on your Amazon account, go to your profile page and remove all payment type information.
