You may have ad/mal-ware. Further information can be found in this article; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware?cache=no

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.

You will need to update to 57.0.2 for fixes https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version

But you have worse issues. Firefox's Google Security blocked the page but was not strong enough to block it all as Tried your URL and Norton Security Blocked it as a JS Coinminer Downloader 6.

Something is on your system. Did you install a audio downloader ? If so please send name and/or URL

I have VirusTotal scanning the URL but it has been doing so for 20mins now. It scans with over 30 Virus Engines, will send URL results when or if it finishes.

Please use more than 1 scanner as each uses diff tech : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware Save your Report and google each before deleting anything as do not want to delete something you need, If need help : https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/9573-im-infected-what-do-i-do-now/ Post in only 1 forum, then wait.
