When opening new page, an extra window says "problem loading page"
Opening the Firefox browser causes a second tab at the bottom to pop up that reads "problem loading page"...the pages I want to view open up fine, on all websites, I just get an extra annoying tab with that message...if I click on that tab, a small window pops up in the upper left hand corner of the screen that has the error message. I am using FF 3.6. This just started happening recently...possibly after my las FF upgrade.

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

Thanks for the advice cor-el...I ran Microsoft Security Essentials and a Housecall scan...the MSE found a few nasties, but Housecall came up empty..Still having the issue....I've used some of your suggested anti-malware software in the past, and am going to try them again...do they all "play well" with MSE?
I'll post back after trying your suggestions...
I had this problem too with latest firefox upgrade
It was fixed by looking at addons. I had 1 disabled incompatible addon. I deinstalled this. I at the same time deinstalled the 4 earlier java console addons I had (the 6.0.17 is the latest) Window no longer there.....
I followed cor-el's advice, and it seems to have solved the problem...Thank you cor-el...
