BlockSite {web link} BlockSite is an extension, which automagically blocks websites of your choice. Additionally, this extension will disable all hyperlinks to these websites, by just displaying the link text without the clicking functionality.
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
- AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Download the programs. When you are ready, disable Kaspersky, then run them.
OK thanks so much
Just one last thing for you to look at;

How long have U used this for Fred?
Block site works very well. But you need to be careful on how you tell it on what to block. If you want to block the site; xyz.com, add *xyz.com* to block everything. But if you only want to block part of the site, that gets a bit tricky. Note: Block site can stop a site from loading, but it can't stop a page / tab from opening. But it will be blank.
