When I start FireFox and I open a new tab I get some sort of Asian looking writting across the tab marker. What is this? I have screen shots of it.

When opening FireFox I get some strange Asian characters across the Tab button. Any idea what these are I've attached an screen shot of the characters. They look Korean. Have I been hacked?
