Hi.

There seems to be a workaround published here: http://www.ghacks.net/2014/11/19/bypass-firefoxs-blocked-may-contain-a-virus-or-spyware-message/

It is a third party site, but WOT says it's OK :) Thought I figure it is for your own browsing safety. More on the issue can be read here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1018932

Kind regards,
