Error during encrypted connection scan. - this message pops up all the time
I agreed to something this morning as I had a message that Firefox was starting slowly and now I have to press Add to exclusions numerous times every time I do anything online. I have no idea what any of it is and it's extremely time consuming,confusing and annoying. What is happening and why?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
I had to press ignore seventeen times to see screenshot page. I have accepted various things but no idea what but couldn't view certain webpages or parts of without doing so.

That is indeed from Kaspersky - you have somehow got stats.g.doubleclick.net on your system, which is malware that you will of course need to get rid of. Go to the Firefox menu (≡) => Add-ons => Extensions, and look for any unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions.
When you find any : remove them.
Do the same here : for Windows => Control Panel
However : most malware will be 'hiding' somewhere , so let's run malware scans (even though you already have run some) :
