I have been asked to download from f31056.privacy4browser.com; is this genuine?
Firefox itself blocked access!

If you get a pop-up message asking to update Firefox or plugins or scanning for malware then such a message is likely a scam and you should NEVER respond to such an alert to avoid getting infected with malware.
- only update Firefox via "Help > About" or by downloading and installing Firefox from the Mozilla server and never via a pop-up or link on a web page.
- plugins should only be updated via the plugin itself or by visiting the home page of the plugin.

Hi !
May not be necessary, but better safe than sorry :
You may have ad/mal-ware. Further information can be found in this article :

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently - if one program misses something, another may pick it up.
