Possibly Firefox is misreading the state of your keyboard: Firefox will display that dialog at startup if you hold down the option/alt key while clicking/double-clicking the Firefox icon.

If it's a "stuck key" problem, the resolution may require some trial and error. Sometimes jabbing the key several times fixes it. In other cases, wireless keyboards needed a fresh battery.
