Starting last thrusday 11/8 when i first open Firefox it will close and i see a popup saying "The page at http://longlifepc.com says: Notice if your pc is infected, you could suffer data loss, erratic PC behavior etc...and wants you to scan by clicking OK...i close popup then firefox opens to the page to a longlife web page...close at and i got a couple other popups then it stop...after that it works fine the rest of the day until PC is rebooted then it all happens again...noticed this again on friday from my home PC doing the same thing...ive ran Windows Defender and Antivirus application but they didnt find anything

Reproducible: Always

>Windows Defender and Antivirus application but they didnt
find anything

I've run google and found this as second hit :
http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.support.firefox/browse_thread/thread/965575e1c31b86ae/fbaf07e38a288661

But I can't see a bug in Firefox itself. Clean your system and update all plugins (quicktime, Java)...
