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:
