Internal Security 1.0 add-on continues to self-install after being removed. Firefox points out that it is a security threat and disables it. I uninstall it. The next time I start Firefox it reinstalls itself.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== Firefox was started after upgrading to v3.6

There is probably another program on your computer trying to install it. Are you running security software? It could also be malware.
