Please check your computer for malware - Firefox doesn't do this by itself.

Try a new profile (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles), but I reccomend getting several malware cleaners (malwarebytes, maybe try http://www.bleepingcomputer.com). Or, have a professional clean it.

You can also try to reproduce in Firefox 4 Beta 8 or later, there are many improvements in the new version, http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html
