Chosen solution

My father just phoned me with the same issue in Firefox on his Windows XP machine. It turns out there was a Firefox Add-on called "XUL Cache". Disabling this Add-on appeared to fix the problem.

I'm not sure how it got there or if this is a permanent solution, but it got him up and running for now.

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

I had the same problem, but I would encounter it whenever I'd use Google, Yahoo, Bing, pretty much any search engine. I must have downloaded 20 different anti-malware/antivirus programs & scanned my laptop 100 times but I never could get rid of the issue. I disabled the XUL Cache though & everything's fine now! Thank you SOOOOO much!!!
