I have never received those messages before, but I have had problems with Firefox before. It seems that everytime I clean out all my internet files and cookies the problems seem to go away...here's how to do it...
Under "Tools", go to "Options"
click on "Clear Cookies Now" then click on "ok"
I hope that helps, if not, you might have had someone hack- in that case, I'm sorry! Time to call Geek Squad!

It's not Firefox, your PC is infected with malware.
For more info, use the Discover TAB and search for: malware

Start Firefox into safe mode (it is inside start menu), and check for illegal plugins. Disable them all, and turn them on one by one to determine which one caused this. Oh, don't forget to set the home page into blank page.
