Search and related results popups on photos

The past week or so, I have noticed that a black search box is popping up on photos in Firefox. When I mouse over it, a "related results" box pops up. There are also popups in a new window of advertisements. Is this a virus, a known issue, or just some annoying new addition to Firefox?

Does this affect all sites with photos?

I suspect a rogue add-on. Could you review your extensions on the following tab and disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions, then restart Firefox and see whether that makes any difference.

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

I think that might have done it. So weird, all the extensions looked like things that I use on a regular basis (Hootsuite, Amazon, Swagbucks). The only ones I didn't recognize were Java Quickstarter and Microsoft.NET Framework Assistant. The issue is sporadic, though, so I may just be in a "down" moment. I'll update if it comes back. Thanks!
