how do you block a specific website? It seems that you can only Allow Exceptions but not block specific websites - help? There is a website Pebble.com that automatically re-routes me to it everytime I am on a search engine website (either google, msn, ask.com, etc.). I can reach google or any search engine without a problem but EVERY time I click a link to ANY of the search results, I am rerouted to pebble.com. I can copy and paste URLs of search results to get me to the website I'm looking for but cannot click any link from a search engine without being rerouted. There is no way to block a specific website on Mozilla that I've found so please help me to do so! Thank you!

It is likely that your computer has been infected by malware that redirects search engine results. You probably need to clean that out. This thread has a lot of suggestions on how to do that: I have a Google redirect virus which redirects every hit I click on in every search engine, in every browser, to a completely unrelated website. No anti-virus software I've tried can get rid of it. Help. | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help.
