hmm, odd one that.
to save troubleshooting, have you tried uninstalling then reinstalling the latest version?

Virus -- trojan !!!!!

You most likely have a Trojan.

Virus's are decreasing in popularity as there is so much damage you can do with a Trojan.

Sweep it with AVG or Hotbot... if you've downloaded something dodgy it may be an aRse to get rid of - be very very careful in future.

I'd suggest doing a virus scan as mentioned above anyway, although it's a strange way for something to act because of a virus! Especially when it's Mozilla, internet explorer maybe, but not firefox.
