I hesitated in replying in case someone has a better answer.

I would suspect that it is a malware problem typical answer /questions/914980#answer-302372

Try scanning with multiple tools for malware. If you find something post back with details. If you do not and the problem continues let us know and I will try to work out the problem.

Do you mean a link in Firefox or a link in an external (email) program?

For the latter, you can check for issues with DDE.
