Well, I guess the question is what prompted Firefox to send a connection request to that site. Was it

  • An image, script, style sheet, video, or other element of a page you visited, possibly in an ad in the page?
  • Triggered by an add-on that has a relationship of some kind with that site? (Have you installed any new add-ons lately?)
  • A URL sent to Firefox as your default browser by an external program, script, or scheduled task? (If you didn't get a new window or new tab at the same time as the block occurred, it probably wasn't this one.)
  • Something else?

This is one reason why I stop using security software. Are you going to ask about every unknown site? Malwarebytes says Firefox, but like J said, something in the browser is making the connection. We have no idea what site(s) are you on that could be responsible generating for this connection.
