Are you even using the Mozilla browser?

Your report reads like you're trying to report an Internet Explorer problem.

Reporter: This bugzilla is for mozilla.org products, please don't abuse.

Searching google, it seems you're "infected" with a "BHO" - browser help
object".  It's quite common if MSIE and OS are not patched and /or security
settings are low. http://www.computercops.us/print-1-45617.html might contain
some helpful info and not least links.

Resolving as invalid. Nothing here indicates a Mozilla bug.
On the contrary: Tips in various forums recommend Mozilla in order to avoid this
exploit.
