Sometimes the address bar / url field is filled up with weird characters. How can I stop this?

The address bar in Firefox fills sometimes completely with strange characters. There are no letters or numbers, but symbols / icons. Is this a bug or something that I can change? Here you can see how this looks. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByVixQ4OnwKfWGJBZTRxRGJZWVE/edit?usp=sharing

Try disabling the RSS Icon 1.0.6 extension. A number of users have reported that extension as causing that type of display.
