According to your User Agent at the bottom of your question, you have the Ask Toolbar installed:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 ~~red:AskTbBCPA~~/3.8.0.12304 Firefox/3.6.6
Some freeware sites partially finance the cost of their site by including "optional" additional items. Always be careful when downloading and installing such items. In some cases, you have an opportunity during the installation process to UN-check the optional item(s)--LOOK for such items.
If you have the Ask Toolbar (looks like this: http://sp.ask.com/toolbar/install/web/ask/download.php ), here is how to uninstall it: http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4 NOTE: perform the removal with Firefox closed.
You may need to review/reset a your home page settings after the un-install. See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
You may need to reset a preference after the un-install if you are being directed to "Ask search" when when typing, for instance, microsoft, in your URL/address bar: -Enter about:config in the address/URL bar and press the Enter key -If you see a warning, accept it (Promise that you will be careful) -Filter = keyword.url -Below the Filter, right-click on keyword.URL and choose "Reset" -Restart Firefox (File > Restart Firefox)
