how do I block unwanted sites?
I'm constantly getting unwanted sites. I have ad blockers and still I keep getting unwanted sites. (Mainly porn, which I abhor.)
Firefox used to allow blocking sites that you don't want. But for sometime now, they don't offer that option anymore. Is there away of reinstating that feature?

Hi, you could try a different ad blocker, such as https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin
It's also possible you may have picked up some malware. You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
