Click Tools | Add-ons | Plugins. In there, find My Web Search and click "Disable". "My Web Search" is adware and will feed you ads until the cows come home if you let it. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_web_search


Please visit the Plugins Check page and update where necessary. Some of your Plugins are seriously outdated and expose your system to exploits.

Most important of all, click Help | Check For Updates and update Firefox to 3.6.17

There was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.
