I use 5 other browsers for 5 other Facebook accounts with no probs. Only on Firefox are my friends being spammed with porn links. I changed my password three times for my facebook account and 2 connected gmail accounts as well. I am on a MacBook Pro running 10.7.5 and scanned my drives and found no viruses.

Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions. If you can live without it for 8 hours, disable:

Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category

Then restart Firefox. Hope that helps.
