Does the msg "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" mean I have a worm that wants to redirect?

The given Firefox message appears in a bar a the top of some of my saved sites, most disturbingly from my secure financial sites, when they are first called up on my PC screen. Wat should I do about this, if if it signifies nothing worrisome, why does Firefox send this message?
