Blocking specific .com sites
Hello, I believe I'm be phished by what appears to be a Firefox Update pop up. A pop up and "Firefox Tab" appear but the browser address is obviously not Firefox, it begins https://acquireappstreams.best/............ etc. I'd like to know if the .com can be blocked, it has popped up about 10 times in the past few hours. Thank you, Paul

You're not the first one to post here about this website. I'm guessing it's probably a new popup. It's definitely not a legitimate Mozilla website, so good job on spotting that. You'd be surprised how many people fall for it.
As for actually solving the problem, you should block the page, but the best option is to get to the root of the problem by getting rid of whatever is opening this website. Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller (for more info, see this alternate TDSSKiller download page)
- AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
Hope this helps.
