To bypass the warning it says to go to "security" and then jump through 3 or 4 more hoops to finish up, but I dee no "security link to click on to. This makes me a little suspicious of the new 4.0 I just downloaded which the computer sent me to when I clicked on "get me out of this site"(the "infected site www.papawswrench.com)

Thanks for you help.

Click "Ignore This Warning" bottom right of that banner if you want to take the risk and go there. But I'd advise you to disable Javascript first. At least that way, you mitigate some of the risks.

There's an add-on which can do that called QuickJS which adds a button to the toolbar enabling you to disable/enable Javascript on the fly: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/quickjs/

Did you click on Ignore this Warning in the lower-right corner of that warning, that should allow that website to load. This is what I get with "ignore".

It looks to be a pretty weird site aimed at people who collect adjustable wrenches and has been around since 2007. The owner however has chosen to withold information about himself which seems a bit odd considering the content.
