Unable to connect

that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

If you cannot connect from any browser to that one website, your issue may be caused by Malware. You can run and update the following free anti virus software:
1. Malwarebytes (Free version) - http://www.malwarebytes.org
2. Spybot Search & Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org
3.Spyware Terminator - http://www.spywareterminator.com
In addition, there are a number of forums you can use to help get rid of your infection. These include:
In that case you likely have Malwarebytes' so you need to add the IP address for the www.torrentz.com which is "109.235.49.40" to the (ignore list) in Malewarebytes', to do that type www.torrentz.com on your browser then press enter then you will likely find that there is a message from Malewarebytes' saying "Successfully blocked access to a potentially malicious website: 109.235.49.40" then you need to right click on Malewarebytes' on system tray then select "add to ignore list" then you will be prompted automatically by this IP "109.235.49.40" just select it then try to open torrentz.com now, I think it will work.
