Firefox cannot display a frame due to protection reasons? Why did this pop up?

I have had Windows Live Hotmail open all day today, having it minimised in a tab. I switched back to the tab much later on during the day and I got a message which was something along the lines of "For security, Firefox has blocked this page from displaying a Frame" or something rather. I am not sure if this is because of a virus or??? What's a frame and why would I get this message all of a sudden?

Hi Cor-El, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I am not asking for a solution but instead a clarification. I would like to know why a website would suddenly do this when it has been open all day in a tab? Is it a security threat, or something on my PC?

Could you please provide clarification to my post above? Thanks.
