Every link opens Anti-Phishing warning

A few days ago, Firefox updated itself. Suddenly, every link opens a new tab that says "Anti-phishing Protection is scanning your link..." and the original tab opens a window that says "Anti-phishing Protection - You are attempting to open an insecure link. Are you sure you want to proceed?"

I cannot find anywhere to turn this off or fix this ridiculous situation?

I'm sure that it's not our popup. Do you have any addons? Check your add-on list.

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?
