Sounds like you have an extension, but from your description, I don't know if you are looking at sequential numbers for links, or word/character counts withing text boxes.

Look at the extensions you have, you may have changed an option, or you may have installed a new extension lately. You can in Firefox 5.0 (and 4.*) look at the date last updated.

A few extensions that count such things or have counters can be found at
