We were discussing this on IRC. Those addons are installed in the above mentioned firefox:

AVG Safe Search 9.0.0.845 true {3f963a5b-e555-4543-90e2-c3908898db71} AVG Security Toolbar 4.504.019.002 true avg@igeared Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant 1.1 true {20a82645-c095-46ed-80e3-08825760534b}

I suspect that AVG is somehow at fault here.

PS: The UA string seems to be from the browser used to report the Problem, not Firefox itself.
