Could be those numerous AVG and/or ZoneAlarm extensions. Try disabling those first, restart Firefox, test. If that solves the problem, re-enable one at a time, restart Firefox, and test until the problem occurs, then you know the culprit.

If those testing those extensions does not resolve the problem, you may need to try Firefox Safe Mode
