Does this occur on all sites or only on some sites?

These messages might be generated by an add-on. Could you disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized add-ons here:

  • orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins -- particularly "PriceGong"
  • orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions

Then restart Firefox and revisit the problem pages to see whether you've shut it down.
