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

We blocked access to

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).
