textsrv.com is inserting unauthorized links in my website when viewed with Firefox

Certain words in my personal website have links inserted behind them by a hacker when the site is viewed with Firefox but not with the other browsers. An example of an unauthorized link is: <<http://www.textsrv.com/click?v=VVM6MjA4MDM6NjgwOnN0YXJ0Ojk2OGYwN2ZiMjg4YTNmNTJhNWQ5N2NmZTFmMjUzMWI1OnotMTA0MS0zMzQ1NTp3d3cucm9nZXJoaWxsb25saW5lLmNvbQ%3D%3D>> This hack is looking for certain keywords like "start", "work", "best", "for the". This security breach is very destructive to my advertising free website. I hope you can fix it ASAP.

hello, it's probably the startnow toolbar that you have installed on your system in firefox > addons > extensions. remove it in order to get rid of this unwanted behaviour.
