It turns out that it was a problem with firefox. However, I do not believe I had any malicious addons or extensions for a few reasons. 1) I only had 4 extensions, adblock plus, pentadactyl, firebug, and noscript. 2) they were all vetted (presumably) by mozilla.
I believe, and this is simply speculation, that the problem may have been caused by noscript stopping/interfering with some scripts on facebook. Facebook would assume it was malware interfering with the site, and attempt to block it. I am 99% sure my browser was not really compromised. I'm going to try and reproduce it later.
