nfl.com blocked, all add-ons disabled
Any time I attempt to go to www.nfl.com (or any of the domain's pages), it will for a split second attemtp to go, but then quit trying as if it is blocked. I have disabled every single add-on in the browser, and it is still blocking the site. This is the only known site that is being blocked, and this site does NOT get blocked using Google Chrome.
What is likely to be causing this issue?

You can remove all data stored in Firefox for a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History -> Show All History" or "View -> Sidebar -> History").
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox for this domain like history and cookies and passwords and exceptions and cache, so be cautious. If you have a password or other data for that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of involved files.
If you revisit a 'forgotten' website then data for that website will be saved once again.
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support to see if that has effect.

Make sure you are not blocking content.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Yes, when I went into safe mode, the issue still exists.
Was there any kind of message?
Start your Computer in safe mode with network support.
Then start Firefox.
Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

Not really sure what you mean as on a technicality, no web site is truly secured, but if you talking about via the HTTPS vs the HTTP, it doesn't work with the HTTPS either. As soon as the enter key is pressed, it instantly is stopped as if it is blocked instantly. No error message what so ever.

Evidently, the Forget website did the trick as I can now get it it within Firefox. Thank you for your assistance on this.
