This is the website that's causing the problem. It popped up and I can't get rid of it because it has locked my browser: http://wsgsdftg.cambridge.management/watch?v=RY1QDGUYBUVQEAUkGB&list=wUGB1IIUVUBSEFVEA&index=9

Close Firefox. Do you have the Firefox icon on your quick launch? Right click on it, and select Open New Window. Sometimes this works. If it opens, close it by Menu > File > Exit.

If it's the fake FBI/Interpol browser lock page, This add-on can stop such pages; 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.
