Unable to block specific website that sends malicious attacks to my PC

During web browsing, www.glaub.com sends malicious pop-ups to my PC. I have tried to block the website but my version of firefox does not seem to have this option. I do not know how to download a version that does if I already have firefox. Currently Norton Security helps protect me.

Hi LuluLuna, are you getting new windows/tab from a bad site, or desktop notifications (little rectangular messages in the lower right corner of the screen)?

Desktop Notifications

If you get unwanted notifications, check whether you've accidentally granted the site permission:

  • Windows: "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options
  • Mac: "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences
  • Linux: "3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences
  • Any system: type or paste about:preferences into the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it

In the search box at the top of the page, type notif and Firefox should filter to the Permissions section of the page.

Click the "Settings" button to the right of Notifications and you can remove sites from the permissions list. Make sure to click the Save Changes button at the bottom before closing this box.
