The last update to FireFox was bad for me. It caused all kinds of problems. I had to disable all my extensions and put them up one by one again. I don't have half the ones up that I did. Maybe you should uninstall FF, reboot and try a fresh install.
The extensions I am no longer using are show IP, Gmail skins, smiley extras and Broadband test. Everything is fine now.

god I hate quicktime almost as much as real player. They both think that they should take over all aspects of media handling when all I want them to do is play either .mov files or real media files.
I suspect it is a direct result of viewing yourself and Po in compromising poses. Your browser is pissed! (and sickened)
Seriously though..
I would suggest uninstalling quicktime, rebooting and see if the issue goes away. If it does, then re-install quicktime (customize the installation and scale it down wherever possible), reboot and try again.

Security: Update QuickTime Now!
The QuickTime media player has multiple security flaws that is putting your Windows computer (and if you have a Mac) at risk for malicious attack according to Apple. Hackers can create maliciously crafted movie and image files that could be used to execute harmful code on vulnerable machines by utilizing a buffer overflow error.
QuickTime 7.1.3 has been released as a high-priority update. This update fixes all the recent known vulnerabilities. If you have not already updated your computer, I would highly recommend that you download it and update it now.
Bonus Tip: If you select the 'QuickTime 7.1.3 for Windows 2000/XP' option on the download page, you can get Quicktime without iTunes.
I agree with Phoon...I hate quicktime & will not use it on my putter but if you must
be sure to uninstall the plugin as well as the player. You may be infected. Something that comes & goes 
And affecting both browsers...and Ya use FireFox if you can...its safer
I would suggest running some scans on your system. Beside antivirus I use A-squared free. Adaware Se 7 & Spybot Search & Destroy *may pick it up. The online scanner at Trend Micro is quite good as well. Another good one to use is the ewidio.net online scan. I may be completely wrong but a good scan of with all of the above will eliminate that possibility.
Appreciate you keeping us informed. I know how frustrating it can be. After trying the basics I always scan my system well and go from there. And as you know 1 program will not catch everything.

I have had to uninstall 4 different extensions that installed perfectly but seriously messed up either my browser or the actions of other extensions. So if you did add or update anything disable each & restart....
Hope that helps
Is that quicktime in your screenie?...is it running or did you recently start it?..There have been issues with old versions & javascript vulnerabilities ...just another thought.
