Suspicious bar at screen bottom
A grey bar at the bottom of the screen, above the task bar, says Firefox seems slow and has a link to "learn how to speed it up." Is this a scam or legit?

This is a virus, not part of mozilla then do a virus scan and if it does not work reinstall firefox
It could be a message from the browser. Does your browser seem slow?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Thank you all for the replies.
I've run a virus scan, and various malware scans (all of which I do regularly); no virus was found, and the suspicious bar has not reappeared so far (so I can't take a screenshot of it).
So, the suspicious bar issue may or may not be resolved; time will tell.
However, Firefox was extremely slow to load this morning; I'll keep an eye on it and try the other suggestions if the slowness continues.
