    It seems they are doing this in order to stop Firefox losing focus which was the problem some time ago.

    mantra, it is normal when you are viewing a page that has Flash content. Here's mine:

    They will disappear (after some time) when you switch to a page without Flash content.

    mantra, see Inside Flash Player Protected Mode for Firefox.

    From the above link:

    Today, with Windows 8 just around the corner and Windows XP usage rapidly decreasing, it did not make sense for the Flash Player team to make that same engineering investment for Windows XP. Therefore, we’ve focused on making Protected Mode for Firefox available on Windows Vista and later.
