Attack site locks Firefox 31.0 to extort money
Using release 31.0 on Mavericks OS.
I was somehow attacked and it took me to here: DO NOT OPEN THIS URL: alert24world4xi.us which locks up the Firefox browser (can't close, can't navigate away.) I forced a close only to discover when I relaunched FF I was right back at the attack site and unable to exit.
It is a fake NSA warning that demands money
I had to trash FF and reinstall.
Thanks good people! Another FF security pot hole to fill.

The hole has been filled;
disallow Script Button {web link} The Disallow Script button looks like a letter "M" and the title is the Minus Script, drag and drop the button on a toolbar. If the button is not displayed then nothing operates, except rules for plugins.
