You are running an outdated version of Firefox.

Please use Help > About Firefox to trigger an update. And then see if that problem is corrected, or not.

Do a scan for malware. It might be some kind of hijack attempt.

If these don't find it or can't clear it, post in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help:

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.

Is this on a Google.com site as Google tends to have a mention to get people to use the Google Chrome web browser on a corner.

The Firefox web browser and Google Chrome web browser are completely separate web browsers.

Maybe give a link or url where you see this or add a screenshot to your reply on what you see?

Can you attach a screenshot?

  • Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
  • Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB
