Click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins.

In there, disable "My Web Search". This is an adware which probably came bundled with a 'free' app you installed at some time or another. It runs silently in the background searching for ads to feed you.

In addition, update your Flash installation. The version you have at the moment exposes your system to exploits. See http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-12.html
