I can't seem to access firefox.com or mozilla.org. And I can't update firefox. I can access every other website, but not mozilla.org. It seems like something is blocking me from accessing and updating firefox.

You should
1. Update your anti-virus, then perform a full system scan with it. If you don't have an anti-virus, I recommend Avast. Do not install Avast if you already have an anti-virus; you shouldn't have more than one anti-virus installed at a time.

2. Perform an anti-malware scan using Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware.

3. Check the contents of your HOSTS file.
