'ytoolbar'is the Yahoo! Toolbar. You could try to update it. I will give you a fair warning that I see people struggling to change their search engine settings back from Yahoo, the Toolbar could be a culprit in that.

Or you can disable it. See https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+extensions+with+Firefox#How_to_disable_or_uninstall_extensions

I have the same problem and believe the nsBlocklistService.js:648 refers to the Norton /Symantic security protection which is used to block phishing sites. I use Norton 360 and suspect it is the cause. Are you also using Norton?
