hello xSanaNanax, some other affected users tied the issue to the mcafee site advisor extension - please try to disable or remove that in case you have it present.

I hadn't scrolled your screenshot over to the right, but I see some Chinese characters on your main toolbar. Do you know what is supposed to be in that area?

I don't think these should be in a Western language Tab Bar sometimes if you move cursor to BookMark icon some disappear.

I too had the problem of Chinese characters appearing across the top tabs after I upgraded Firefox to 35.0.1

I resolved it by disabling the McAfee DLL add-on.

THANKS!!
