Can't leave an infected site

I landed on hxxp: / /getsecure.cz.cc/firefox-updates

The page opens a dialog box asking to download an update. The dialog box blocks any other interaction with ff.

I can kill ff from the Windows Task Manager, but when I restart, the offending page as one of the tabs. FF Safe Mode would allow me to remove bookmarks, but I don't want to do that.

Open your Firefox profile folder, see for more details about how to access http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

In the profile folder delete sessionstore.js and if there are the sessionstore.bak, when you then start Firefox it will not return to the old session.

FYI the NoScript , the module can be used to prevent sites like that cause problems. This site relies on JavaScript and NoScript will disable JavaScript unless you specifically allow it for a site.
