I'm still running Firefox 12, so if this is a new feature of Firefox 13, I am not familiar with it. It also doesn't sound like a standard Windows XP feature.

It is possible that you accidentally installed some adware that tries to sell you a third party product. You may want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:

Malwarebytes Anti-malware : http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

SUPERAntiSpyware : http://www.superantispyware.com/

Sounds like malware, check out the tools listed here:
