Firrefox tab text is all jumbled up. It Shows different info on which tab it actually is

I'm running Firefox 17.0.1 on Windows 8 32bit installed on a late 2010 macbook pro.

Problem is this: The names on my tabs are not the names of tabs they represent. For example, facebook shows up as facebook.cor

Here is an image of the problem: http://imgur.com/5Wbsj

The tab on the left should be the extensions tab, but instead has the same details as the reddit tab. These issue also affect the menu bar. I disabled javescript and it didnt change anything, currently running a virus scan on my computer using Avast, but i dont think its a virus as i'm pretty paranoid about what i download/run on my computer.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and the problem is still there with no add-ons or themes installed.
