Every time I click on my Firefox icon, my browser defaults to safebrowser.io website with the following notification:

We blocked access to

http://www.searchbaron.com/v1/hp?aid=260251&data=aWlkPTQwJnVpZD0xMDA3ODA1OTc=&sto=1

I cannot get rid of this website popping up each time I open Firefox. Please tell me how to get rid of it. Thanks, Heidi heidi.landry@gmail.com

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Then, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-set-the-home-page

Is the problem still there?
