I remember seeing this caused years ago by the Ask.com toolbar.

Go to Tools > Add-ons or click Firefox button > Add-ons and see if you can find Ask.com toolbar and uninstall it.

If you don't have that addon, then go to Help > Troubleshooting Information and click the "Copy all to clipboard" button then paste it here. It will tell us what addons you have installed and I can see which one might be causing problems.
