These messages are triggered by a plugin that you're running.

Go to Tools : Add-Ons : Plugins (in Firefox), and one-by-one, for each plugin listed, please do the following:

1) Disable the plugin.
2) Restart Firefox and check if you still see the message.

Once you find it, please let us know which plugin is "at fault" here.

(Note that a plugin can be loaded by an extension, so that it doesn't show up in Tools : Add-Ons : Plugins.  But let's deal with that possibility later.)

For some reason it actually stopped now without me doing anything
