What do you mean by block? As in stop it from running, or stop it connecting to the internet?
Yeah stop it from connecting to the Internet.

a firewall or something similar could either block all internet connections or only allow one program and thus disallow Firefox.

Also a common thing in educational institutions (especially tafes and universities) is the browser having to go through a proxy of which you will more than likely be blocked from viewing the username and password.
You could just enforce a group policy to block firefox.exe or FirefoxPortable.exe, which would stop them trying to run it from a network storage as well as thumb drives.
But there’s no sense crying over every mistake,
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
It's also possible to block executable files that are on flash drives. I think my school has been doing this on the new computers. They're doing something, and it won't run.
