What going on with Avast/yahoo mail thru firefox?

[puter illit]

I recently started useing firefox to access my Yahoo mail because I was having some lag issues on IE. I've been posted some sale items on Craigs List using IE. When I open yahoo mail on FF it's OK but if I reopen older mail the 2nd time or close it I get a pop up warning that a malisious  site has been blocked? What up?? malwarebytes is clean?

Thanks, although the issue is the same he's using different browsers and going to different web pages. So I don't know if the issue is the same. It's not all yahoo mail on FF, initial mail opens fine only when I reopen a mail I previously opened within an hour to weeks it happens or when I click to return to mail box (new Mail) on Yahoo page does it happen?

Did it a couple of days ago along with cash and history, I do it regularly so don't think that is the problem But that's for the suggestion.

I have been getting the same alert for specificclick regardless of the browser being used.  Not sure if it is a real malware, false positive,  or a problem with avast version 8 beta which was just installed

********************   Should have read more posts    duh.  Specificclick found to be a real malware problem.  Avast is doing its job!!!!!!

1 last question? Went to the link  of.atribune.org followed the instructions to download the cookie remover.
Downloaded it on FF -  opened it followed the instructions to click all -  clicked delete, but it didn't give me an option to save anything (passwords, bookmarks etc.) as the instructions said it would so I freaked out? - Pop up window said it completed    but when I went to check to see if passwords, history, saved bookmarks were removed everything was still there Yippie but also few earlier cookies were there too? So did it do what it was supposed to do removing the bad cookies/malware ???or did it fail???
