This message appears in its own window. When I click okay FF continues without any problem, it is just annoying having to click okay to get to the next web page. It always happens on the same web sites and happens every time I visit them. I have no problems loading the same pages in IE9 or Chrome 10.

This is fixed in Feed Filter 2.2.8:
