This narrows the possibilities down to ~~three~~ four interesting options.

Mozilla did this, and you're the first person to talk about it online
Your OS did this, and you're the first person to talk about it online
A protected browser page got hijacked by malware on Linux
You did this and forgot, somehow

Some other comments have been annoyingly dismissive, but I hope you push onward to figure out what the hell this is. Because if it's one of the first two, it's a big deal.
