About this question

 I'm a bit conflicted. Firefox was open to its default homepage and after a few minutes of inactivity a new tab opened by itself to this (seemingly harmless) webpage:


The title on this page is "Facebook Message Seen Disabled" which I thought was a legitimate add on that I have installed:


I'm not sure how to proceed. I do use the add on but I don't want to have random pop ups and now I don't think I can trust them. I also have adblock plus installed, and I ran adaware and the only thing found were the registry keys HKCUSoftwareConduit How on Earth do we not have an adware tag?
