Block certain pages in firefox?

Is there a way to block only certain URLs from opening in FireFox? For example, my schools website likes to open a new tab complaining about my version of Java, which I know is fine and the actual website works fine. Is there some way to prevent Firefox from ever opening this tab? I've tried Blocksite and Adblock, they just seem to block all the content on the page, I don't want the tab to open at all.

Update:

I already have the latest version installed. There are also other websites that open a tab with a specific url that I would like to block, so its just not a Java issue,

    Try installing NoScript extension and block the scripts from your school's site. Hope this helps.

    Not really, the pop-up blocker wouldn't know its a porn pop up, since it recognises all of them as the same. And as long as you stay away from that website, they won't pop-up again. If they do, you have a virus or a tracking cookie installed which I think you'll want removed. Hope it helped.

    you can use NetDog : http://www.netdogsoft.com/ to block websites, it's easy, just add the website to "Always blocked website list" in NetDogAdmin.exe, none will be able to open it
