When I try to go to a web site like, Microsoft outlook 2010-Microsoft Office, the path is blocked and another web site pops up. Like foreless.com, etc. Difficult to search mozilla and go to the options suggested. Use Office Outlook 2007 on HP Pavilion dv6 with Windows Vista..

This happened

Every time Firefox opened
